I want to explore accountability in regards to having my students do the majority of the work, and me function more as guide/coach. The trick is to achieve this while simultaneously preserving "rigor" (whatever that means)

Hi, my name is JP Yakel from Houston, TX. I teach with Amy at Strake Jesuit in the Science Department.

In a typical measurement method accountability is measured for teachers by standardized testing. Teaching in a Jesuit setting allows me to be accountable to the students in different areas. Accountability to me is the affect that you as a teacher have on your students and the effort you put into your class.

Hi, Amy Doiron here!!
Accountability! I believe that this course will help me let go and let my students take the lead in the classroom. I want to hold them accountable for their learning, but at the same time to not control the entire class.

I think of accountability as being responsible. So, students are responsible for learning the material, I am responsible for teaching/helping them learn, admin is responsible for supporting me in my teaching, and parents are responsible for helping students get what they need to be successful. The question then becomes, how do we measure this and show that students have been successful?

I read that accountability systems "spur action". I'm not sure that I completely agree. We can be intrinsically motivated to learn, to do, to create and when we throw a system of accountability or evaluation on that already motivated individual or group it could have the opposite impact that we wanted to have. I really like what Cornelius Minor said, "Our job is not to hunt for flaws but to search for hidden gems."

To me, accountability stretches beyond mere grades for both student and teacher - students ought to be held accountable for their learning beyond grades, and teachers can demonstrate that their students are learning by more than pointing to class grade averages and met standards (important as they can be).

Since so many people are involved in teaching and learning in schools, ACCOUNTABILITY to me is a way to aim for reciprocal high expectations and follow-through by all parties: students, teachers, parents, administrators.
