Policy emphasis on use of standards for assessments in K-12
education has also affected teacher education. Teacher educators
are being asked to use standards for assessment and produce
concrete evidence for the skills and knowledge their candidates
possess prior to certification. This study examined the assessment
data produced in one teacher education program with an aim to
identify the purposes these assessments fulfilled for the program,
and whether these assessments produced the evidence desired by
policy makers. My findings concur with other studies which claim
that the lack of research on use of standards in teacher education
and inexperience of the field leads to inefficient systems of
assessments. This study also highlights the potential that use of
standards holds for teacher education programs such as: creating
linkages between theory and practice, creating coherence within the
programs, serving as tools for self-reflection for the student
teachers, and facilitating the process of learning to teach.
