The following thread sums up my new book, Intelligent Accountability, in 7 tweets...
1. You will never have enough information to make perfect decisions. To improve the odds of making better decisions, embrace uncertainty & seek out collective sources of intelligence
2. Work to make your trust, school or department operate on a surplus model. Assume teachers are well intentioned and look around to see how you can make it easier for them to make better decisions
3. When teachers are trusted to act as professionals, they are more likely to be their best
4. Accountability is essential but only if you make teachers aware when judgements are being made. Try to conceal your preferences and prove that you are knowledgeable and interested in accuracy
5. Treating teachers equally is unfair. Allow those who have earned it as much autonomy as possible and work with those who haven’t to earn it in the future
6. Help to create the conditions for teachers to develop expert intuitions by focusing on what they need to learn and the best bets for helping them learn it
7. School leaders: the single most important aspect of your job is to make it as easy as possible for teachers to teach. All else flows from that.
