Designing Performance Assessment Systems for Urban Teacher Preparation

This book examines the issues of teacher preparation and assessment with a focus on teachers operating in an urban setting; and addresses issues of race, gender, and socioeconomic class. Peterman (curriculum & foundations, Cleveland State U.) and contributors present the historical context and a theoretical framework of teacher preparation and assessment, and then discuss four case studies in depth. Much of the terminology used is specific to the field, which makes it most suitable for readers already involved in educator learning. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
