The bravEd Building a Benefits-Based Accountability Handbook and Course

The Handbook...

...is a way to finally create the scale for this work long at the center of bravEd's mission.

For years we have needed a way to move school leaders into this work who are interested in doing it on their own. Shifting to a Benefits-Based Accountability has historically required Cohorts and/or additional consulting, which can make for both logistical and budget challenges for many school and district leaders. The Course function means it is now available to all.

We have also long needed a place where we house current best practice. Print is a challenge because it risks perpetuating old rather than new learnings. As the discipline of accountability has taken root in education, we learn with our partners and want to be sure that we are all on the same page when it comes to this important work. An online Handbook allows us to do just that.

It's taken a long to get to this point, and now anyone who chooses can engage in a Benefits-based Accountability.

The Course/Handbook can be used by an individual leader seeking to improve their own practice, or a school or district interested in building a better accountability environment.

It is available now in its beta version, and will be released formally in June of 2025.
