Liberal learning in centralizing states / Bruce Fuller -- Accountability and teaching practices: school-level actions and teacher responses/ Laura S. Hamilton ... [et al.] -- District leaders eroding school coherence? The interpretation of accountability mandates / Thomas F. Luschei and GayleS. Christensen -- Tightening the ship or slowly sinking? Reshaping teacher's work conditions / Kristin Gordon -- Raising achievement or closing gaps? Identifying effective accountability tools / Melissa K. Henne and Heeju Jang -- High stakes diplomas: organizational responses to California's high school exit exam / Jennifer Jellison Holme -- District capacity and accountability: professional development as reform tool / Soung Bae -- Exit exams and organizational change in a vocational high school / Michele Schmidt ... [et al.]

Civic leaders around the globe now press educators to raise the performance of students and schools. Backed by a colorful array of odd bedfellows - from corporate interests to advocates for thepoor - politicians seek to narrow the aims of learning, advance routine curricular packages, and tightly align standardized tests. Why are governments pushingto centrally regulate teaching and learning at this historical moment?Do these accountability mechanisms succeed in boosting student achievement? How are teachers responding to top-down rules, incentives, and the recasting of what knowledge counts inside school? These are the hotlycontested ideological and empirical questions asked by thisvolume's contributors, a rich mix of sociologists, applied anthropologists, and education researchers. As public schools struggle to regain public confidence, political actors eagerly try to look strong and forceful. But docentralized accountability policies lift the motivation of teachers and students? Or, is this reform strategy a brilliant political remedy - but one that makes little difference inside the classroom.
