Intelligent Accountability: Creating the Conditions for Teachers to Thrive by David Didau Understanding uncertainty is crucial for making informed decisions. By acknowledging our own fallibility, we can strike a balance between confidence and humility. This book explores two opposing models of school improvement: the deficit model, which blames individuals for problems, and the surplus model, which views issues as unintended systemic flaws. The surplus model offers a framework for Intelligent Accountability, built on trust, accountability, and fairness. To create a system of Intelligent Accountability, we must trust teachers and give them autonomy. However, this requires a nuanced approach, as some teachers need more trust and scrutiny than others. The key to fairness lies in accepting that autonomy must be earned. By aligning ourselves with a surplus model, we can create a system that values trust, accountability, and fairness, ultimately leading to better outcomes for teachers and students alike. By exploring the principles of Intelligent Accountability, this book provides a valuable resource for educators, administrators, and policymakers seeking to improve the education system.
