Accountability: Then and Now

What is meant by accountability?

We know that ‘’accountability” means something different amidst partners, educators, elected officials, and the general public. Educators know accountability as a term used initially in 1980’s educational reform that led to No Child Left Behind. For many educators, the phrase does not evoke values of integrity or excellence which they might share, but instead makes them think of high-stakes testing, misuse of data, and shame. The general public see accountability more broadly as being a good steward, being effective, and ensuring results. A big part of this effort is to determine what we want it to mean in Oregon, now.
