Myth of Accountability

By presenting the lead-teach-learn triad Eric Glover’s The Myth of Accountability discusses the pitfalls of accountability systems in schools while also investigating how schools have somehow managed to improve in spite of their negative influences. In order to evolve school reform Glover introduces the concept of developmental empowerment in order to frame how school participants must view themselves as perpetually changing learners and systematically update school reform. Through open inquiry Glover encourages educators to challenge the standardization and accountability practices that limit children’s futures.
