Opis

Designing Performance Assessment Systems for Urban Teacher Preparation presents an argument for, and invites, critical examination of teacher preparation and assessment practices--in light of both the complexity and demands of urban settings and the theories of learning and learning to teach that guide teacher education practices. This dynamic approach distinguishes the authors' stance on urban teacher assessment as one that can help address social justice issues related to gender, race, socioeconomic class, and other differences, and at the same time promote the professional development of all educators engaged in the process of learning to teach. The contextually bound, sociocultural stance that informs this book promises greater teacher and student achievement.

Recenzje

"...An excellent and much needed book for the field of teacher education....The focus on urban schools, social justice, critical pedagogy is one that needs much more attention in the face of a national movement for 'generic' standards and assessments--it is an important counter to the march of the hegemonic standards sweeping our nation."
