Putting PACT (Performance Assessment for California Teachers) in Context and Context in PACT: Teacher Educators Address the Content and Assessment of Quality Teaching in Preservice Preparation

Mon, April 16, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Vancouver Convention Centre, Floor: Second Level, West Room 215&216

Session Submission Type: Invited Session

Abstract

This session brings together teacher education faculty, who work at different institutions, but share a commitment to preparing equity-minded teachers and an interest in appropriating the implementation of statewide performance assessment as an opportunity for professional learning. The session’s four papers examine the degree to which and how PACT—Performance Assessment for California Teachers—addresses the complexities of teaching and, in particular, encourages and captures the kind of responsive, adaptive teaching that presenters call “contextualized practice.” Papers name tensions, raise questions, and present recommendations related to the design and implementation of PACT, the current ‘gold-standard’ in preservice teacher (PST) performance assessment. The session also allots significant time for commentary by two senior scholars and for questions and conversation among participants.
