Performance Assessment for California Teachers and English-Language Arts Candidates in a Rural Border Community
Ajayi, Lasisi
Educational Forum, v78 n3 p275-290 2014
This study explores the appropriateness of the Performance Assessment for California Teachers (PACT) as an instrument of assessing English-language arts (ELA) teacher candidates' effectiveness in a rural border community. Eight -candidates participated in the study. The findings call into question the adequacy of PACT to assess the candidates' effectiveness in light of the ways in which the school constrains their abilities from developing culturally relevant practices.
