In this book, Cochran-Smith and her research team argue that it is time for teacher educators to reclaim accountability by adopting a new approach that features intelligent professional responsibility, challenges the structures and processes that reproduce inequity, and sustains multi-layered collaboration with diverse communities. The authors analyze and critique major accountability initiatives, including Department of Education regulations, CAEP accreditation procedures, NCTQ teacher preparation reviews, and edTPA, and expose the lack of evidence behind these policies, as well as the negative impact they are having on teacher education. However, the book does \u003cem\u003enot\u003c\/em\u003e conclude that accountability is the wrong direction for the next generation of teacher education. Instead, the authors offer a clear and achievable vision of accountability for teacher education based on a commitment to equity and democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBook Features: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProposes a new approach to reclaim accountability: democratic accountability in teacher education.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOffers a historical overview of accountability in the era of education reform. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEmbraces accountability and reconstructs its targets, purposes, and consequences in keeping with the larger democratic project.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntroduces an accessible framework for investigating dimensions of accountability policy and practice.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDeconstructs four of the most visible education reform initiatives relevant to teacher educators and education stakeholders.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marilyn Cochran-Smith, Molly Cummings Carney, Elizabeth Stringer Keefe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807759317\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807759318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Teachers College Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/20\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.10w x 0.50d","brand":"Marilyn Cochran-Smith","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44450351677695,"sku":"9780807759318","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_405664fc-046c-4155-8a8a-c27f8b0755fe.jpg?v=1698504308","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reclaiming-accountability-in-teacher-education-marilyn-cochran-smith-9780807759318","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
