Paul Thompson from the DOE explains that accountability falls under the superintendent's purview, and they work to ensure superintendents have the necessary information to support and hold principals accountable.

It should be incorporated in every aspect of the educational journey.

So when we talk about principals, how do you hold them accountable for the amount of participation rate or quality of art learning in their school buildings?

I know we do to Danielson, but what else do you do?
Paul Thompson

You want to take that one?
