The Accountability Mindset

Hosted by bravEd founder John Tanner

This self-paced, six-module course introduces a practical alternative to compliance-driven accountability — one centered on leadership, trust, and real outcomes.

Designed for educators, system leaders, and advocates, the course cuts through decades of confusion around standardized testing and policy mandates. It clarifies what accountability was meant to do, where it went off track, and what becomes possible when schools account for the benefits communities actually care about.

This is not a technical course. It is a leadership course — focused on language, judgment, and responsibility.

What’s Included

  • Six concise, accessible modules (approximately 2–3 hours total)

  • Self-paced format for individuals or teams

  • Clear explanations that replace jargon with usable concepts

  • A coherent framework for understanding accountability without compliance

  • Certificate of completion

Whether you are new to these ideas or responsible for leading accountability conversations, this course provides a clear entry point into Benefits-Based Accountability—and a foundation for more credible, trustworthy public dialogue.
