A Difficult Relationship: Accountability Policies and Teachers. International Evidence and Key Premises For Future Research

Abstract

"This chapter reviews international evidence on the effects of accountability policies in education, with a particular focus on teachers' work and behavior. Specifically, on the basis of existing evidence, we aim to show how the different components of accountability schemes (namely their policy design, enactment processes, contextual contingencies, and impact) interact in complex and multiple ways."
