Educational Accountability: Creating Opportunities for Learning

Increasingly teachers are being held to account for what they do in the classroom using criteria and standards of judgement put in place by others. This book reports on what happens when one teacher educator sets her own standards of judgement grounded in her educational values. It shows how this educational accountability can lead to learning and it makes a case for the significance of teachers being able to theorise their own pedagogy and practices for the future of teaching in schools.
