“Accountability is what's
left when you take out
responsibility.”

10. “...there is no word for
"accountability" in
Finnish.”
“Accountability is what's
left when you take out
responsibility.”
“I wish we could stop
using the word
"accountable" and
instead talk about
"responsible". It would
make all the difference.”

practice — photos, videos, handouts, etc. — that
facilitated that criticism. I started to plan lessons

gonna be worth sharing?" Lesson planning and
blogging became hopelessly and wonderfully
tangled up. Dan Meyer
