Teacher Preparation Evaluation Systems: What Would It Take to Put Equity at the Center?

Sun, April 24, 2:30 to 4:00pm PDT (2:30 to 4:00pm PDT), San Diego Convention Center, Floor: Upper Level, Ballroom 6C

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

For the last two decades, there has been widespread attention to teacher preparation evaluation and accountability from both within and outside the field. In fact, accountability has been regarded by many policy and other actors as a key mechanism for “fixing” teacher preparation, which has repeatedly been characterized as a “broken” system. This session takes up questions related to equity and teacher preparation evaluation systems by focusing on intersecting roles, layers of contexts, and organizations and by bringing together presenters who are differently positioned. The major goal of the session is to consider what it would mean, what it would take, and what it would look like to make equity the central goal of teacher preparation evaluation systems
