I was at a PD recently, and I counted the word "accountability" used 27 times... and I got to the PD half way through. So... I can only imagine it was more.
One quote "This is a great activity- it will definitely help with your evaluations." Is that why we should do things? So that we get an "A" in our evaluations?? That's not why I got into teaching. Here's a quote by the head of Finnish Public Schools, "As for accountability of teachers and administrators, Sahlberg shrugs. "There's no word for accountability in Finnish," he later told an audience at the Teachers College of Columbia University. "Accountability is something that is left when responsibility has been subtracted." (from an article here.) I wish education was more obsessed with words like "joy, interest, thoughtfulness, health, and fun."
