As an IB World School, Brockton prioritizes academic integrity as a cornerstone of our community. We assume that all student submissions—including examinations, tests, essays, and assignments—are the student’s original work. To support this commitment, our faculty provides ongoing guidance on the principles of academic integrity, including how to avoid plagiarism and cheating. Students will participate in dedicated learning and will have continuous access to resources to support their ethical learning journey. Commitment to Integrity - I understand that academic integrity means being honest, fair, and responsible in all my learning. My Responsibilities ● I will demonstrate my process (eg, brainstorming, journal, document history) ● I will submit my own work and give credit when I use someone else’s ideas. ● I will follow the teacher's expectations in all assessments and use sources and AI tools responsibly. ● I will act honestly during assignments, tests, and exams. Use of AI Tools ● I will use AI only when my teacher permits it. ● I will not submit AI-generated work as my own. ● I will acknowledge the use of AI every time I use it. Understanding of Academic Integrity - I understand that academic misconduct includes plagiarism, cheating, collusion, or any attempt to present work that is not my own. Support and Learning - I understand that academic integrity is taught and supported at Brockton, and I can ask for help if I am unsure. Consequences - I understand that not following academic integrity expectations may result in school consequences, as outlined in the Academic Integrity Policy (such as Zero on assignment, mandatory revision or replacement task, suspension, reporting to parents, principal, Ministry and or IB, and/ or expulsion) Benefits of Integrity Upholding academic integrity protects the value of your education and degree, fosters a culture of trust within our school community, and supports your personal growth and development as an ethical learner.
