How you account for what you do matters as much as what you do, and what you do in a school matters a lot.
At bravEd and the bravEd Center, it's our job to make sure that accounting for what matters is the basis for every educational accountability.
Imagine that you could account for everything that matters in a school, in under two minutes, in ways policy makers will understand, that will continuously build trust in what you do as a school leader.Â
You don't have to just imagine it. For more than a decade bravEd has been helping school leaders do just that.
 How might things be different today if school accountability could be what it always should have been? What if public schooling was the most trusted institution in a community and across the country? What if policy makers had what they need to make great educational policy? What if accountability was something that was good for students, schools, parents, and communities?
Real accountability would have had those as its goals from the start. That needs to be the case going forward.
No policy change required.

If you don't do a great job accounting for what you do...
It risks looking like it never happened,
which would be a terrible place to be.
In education, its looked that way to outsiders
for a long time. That shouldn't be the case.
bravEd exists to make sure that never happens again.
Building a better accountability empowers leaders to reimagine what it means to be accountable.
Here's what a few of your colleagues wanted to say to you when we asked them.
A great way to get introduced to this work is through the voice of John Tanner, the founder of bravEd and a champion of the Benefits-Based Accountability work. His keynotes take an extraordinarily complex part of schools and in under an hour create the sense that something better is possible. His recent book, The Accountability Mindset, does the same, using language and a narrative structure to make the topic accessible to anyone.
