A Critical Sociocultural View of Accountability.
Waite, Duncan; Boone, Mike; McGhee, Marla
Journal of School Leadership, v11 n3 p182-203 May 2001
Using Texas's experience with standards and high-stakes testing, this critical sociocultural view of accountability illuminates hidden or neglected aspects of accountability-its meanings, consequences, and the processes by which it is institutionalized. Authority is moving to the state level; teachers, parents, and students have too little oversight. (Contains 48 references.) (MLH)
