Accountability, Equity, and Practitioner Learning and Change--In Honor of William M. Plater
Bensimon, Estela Mara; Rueda, Robert; Dowd, Alicia C.; Harris, Frank, III
Metropolitan Universities, v18 n3 p28-45 2007
Accountability and evidence-based decision-making have become the mantra of government policymakers, and even private foundations. Yet most attempts to foster cultures of evidence have not brought about change in practices, notably because they are treated as management tools rather than learning processes. Equity for All is an approach to accountability that is grounded on the principles of practice theory and sociocultural theories of learning. The authors provide empirical evidence to illustrate practitioner learning.
