Educational Accountability, At-risk Schools and Effective Practice

This book explains how accountability practices are conceptualized in schools that serve at-risk populations, and how this affects teaching and learning in schools in such schools. The book, in addition examines at-risk schools' conditions of production and existence and how they affect and/or are affected by the standards-based educational accountability. The book further provides insight into teacher empowerment and strategies for aiding teachers in such schools to liberate their performance, embrace best practices and teach for social justice.
