This book documents the "brave new world" of teacher,
administrator, school, and student accountability that has swept
across the United States in recent years. Its particular vantage
point is the perspective of dozens of new teachers trying to make
their way through their first months and years working in schools
in the New York City metropolitan area. The issues they grapple
with are not, however, unique to this context, but common problems
found today in urban, suburban, and rural schools across the United
States. The stories in this book offer a compelling portrait of
these teachers' encounters with the new culture of accountability
and the strategies they develop for coping, even succeeding, within
such demanding settings.
"Learning to Teach in an Age of Accountability: " *introduces
research on teaching and engages the "big ideas" concerning teacher
research, highlighting what we know and where that leads us;
*offers a rich set of teacher narratives that are organized to
widen the angle of vision from biography, to classrooms, schools,
and society; and
*includes questions and activities to encourage discussion and
further research about the ideas raised; and
*addresses the possibilities for best practice and curricular
decision making in light of the issues and ideas presented in the
book.
This volume--unique in its portrayal of new teachers' encounters
with issues of accountability--makes a singular contribution to the
educational literature on new teachers. It is relevant to everyone
interested in the contemporary world of teaching, and is
particularly appropriate as a text for preservice and in-service
students. All readers who believe that the key to agood school lies
in attracting and keeping good teachers will find the issues
presented here both personally engaging and deeply troubling.
