This is more explaining the planning BEHIND a learning contract as opposed to how to create learning contracts. I think this should be a part 1. I wish there was a part 2.

Will be hard to implement at the high school level.

Confusing. This struck me as a small component of a much longer training, and I think that is why I felt like I didn’t totally understand what learning contracts are and how learning contracts work. No fault to the presenter, but I cannot see this being successful with the population and age group that I teach. This seems like something for a class full of self motivated, driven students.

Great for learning how to introduce learning contracts in your classrooms. Harder to do individual ones in a secondary class, though, so keep that in mind when watching the video.
