Accountability for Results
In the first phase, this project studied how schools of different types -- such as public schools and charter schools -- and in different policy contexts developed a sense of accountability to produce high-quality instructional results and how they developed the capacity to deliver such instruction. In the second phase, the study focused on the relationship between schools' internal accountability processes and their external accountability systems. The second phase of the study focused exclusively on public high schools -- comprehensive, selective, and charters.
