- Synopsis
- This volume reviews the background of mandated teacher performanceassessment with an emphasis on policy, privatization, and professionalization. The authors discuss the potential impact of mandated teacher performanceassessments on teacher education in the content areas of mathematics, English,and social studies. The perspectives and empirical researchexamined in this conceptual analysis illustrate the various ways in which theStanford Center for Assessment, Learning, and Equity (SCALE) TeacherPerformance Assessment (edTPA) promises to restructure teacher education in theUnited States. The authors consider both the affordances and the constraintsthat teacher performance assessments offer for teacher preparation programs,and conclude by discussing the implications of the intersections among policy, privatization, professionalization,and performance assessments of teachers, as well as the relationship betweenperformance assessments and teacher education. The impact of the edTPA on thedevelopment of signature pedagogies in teacher education is also discussed.
