Accountability of Educational Networks: New Avenues to Improve Public Education

Sat, April 14, 10:35am to 12:05pm, New York Marriott Marquis, Floor: Seventh Floor, Chelsea/Gotham Room

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

This symposium presents the four cases of England, Northern Ireland, Chile and Scotland which vary in 1) the type of network created to promote educational improvement (formal/mandated versus informal/voluntary partnerships, school-to-school collaboration versus collaboration of schools and other service providers in a region), and 2) the ways in which, and the extent to which these educational networks (in addition to individual schools and other service providers in the network) are held to account. Each case presents evidence of the types of accountability of networks that support the original goal of ‘network governance’: to create effective partnerships around a (local) purpose which can effectively solve (local) problems.
