Teacher Assessment and Validity: What Do We Want to Know?

Brookhart, Susan M.; Loadman, William E.

Journal of Personnel Evaluation in Education, v5 n4 p347-57 Jun 1992

Two perspectives on assessment for teacher certification are described: the competency orientation, and the professional orientation. These perspectives are used to discuss current problems, basically validity issues, in teacher assessment: (1) a professional orientation toward assessment; (2) criterion-referenced assessments; and (3) the unit of analysis.
