Reeves 3—Accountability
in a Learning Organization

In this professional learning activity, you and your school team members will learn what’s wrong with accountability and what’s right with it. Dr. Reeves introduces holistic accountability (an accountability structure) and talks about how you can use accountability in a learning organization. Dr. Reeves shares his suggestions for improving accountability and connects them to the California Department of Education's (CDE) 12 Recommendations for Middle Grades Success.

This professional learning activity is made up of four components and is designed to be completed sequentially beginning with:

1. Take Stock: pre-video reflection exercise
2. Take Time: watch the video
3. Take Action: initial activities designed to help educators identify support and resources needed to implement the suggested practices
4. Take it Away: answer questions designed to help educators identify support and resources needed to implement the suggested practices
