Accountability for Learning: How Teachers and School Leaders Can Take Charge
by Douglas B. Reeves
ASCD, 2004
ISBN: 0871208334This is a timely and informative book that is useful for teachers, school administrators, and policy-makers. At a time of enormous stress for educators who are dealing with meeting higher academic standards for all students the book is helpful in putting the current situation into a more manageable perspective. As head of the Center for Performance Assessment, Reeves explains how to build a student-centered accountability system by examining key indicators in teaching, leadership, curriculum, and parent and community involvement. Reeves outlines how teachers can become leaders in accountability by using a four-step process of observation, reflection, synthesis and replication of effective teaching practices. Finally, the author discusses the role of local, state, and federal policymakers and corrects the myths associated with No Child Left Behind.
