In this article, the author explores how Michel Foucault’s notion of the “care of the self” might provide a conceptual basis for resistance to the normalizing practices and disciplinary power associated with high-stakes accountability and resulting educational practices. The author suggests that to shift attention from limited notions of the self toward expansive and creative possibilities for constituting the self requires clarity on what it means by the educated self in a context of accountability.
