The ACT Model focuses solely on holding others accountable.

• A. False
• B. True
• C. Not sure
• D. It depends

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is that behavior models used in detention settings are not just about punishment; they’re about guiding and supporting students to change. In the ACT Model, accountability is one piece, but the approach also includes clear expectations, consistent consequences, and, importantly, skills-building and restorative practices that help students learn from their choices and avoid repeats. It’s about creating a structure where students understand the impact of their actions, are given chances to repair harm, and are supported to make better decisions in the future. So the statement that it focuses solely on holding others accountable is not accurate.
