This volume reviews the background of mandated teacher performance
assessment with an emphasis on policy, privatization, and
professionalization. The authors discuss the potential impact of
mandated teacher performance assessments on teacher education in
the content areas of mathematics, English, and social studies. The
perspectives and empirical research examined in this conceptual
analysis illustrate the various ways in which the Stanford Center
for Assessment, Learning, and Equity (SCALE) Teacher Performance
Assessment (edTPA) promises to restructure teacher education in the
United States. The authors consider both the affordances and the
constraints that teacher performance assessments offer for teacher
preparation programs, and conclude by discussing the implications
of the intersections among policy, privatization,
professionalization, and performance assessments of teachers, as
well as the relationship between performance assessments and
teacher education. The impact of the edTPA on the development of
signature pedagogies in teacher education is also discussed.
Stories of Sports: Critical Literacy in Media Production,
Consumption, and Dissemination discusses how media demonstrates
privilege, policing, stereotypes, confirmation bias, and
objectification in a world where the role of athletics in Western
society speaks to privilege and power. Contributors use a critical
media lens to analyze texts, including newspapers, magazines, film,
television, social media, and sportscasts to demonstrate to readers
the ways in which sports stories reinforce or disrupt patterns of
power and the ways that power is enacted. This book questions the
role of the sports-industrial complex in our society and argues
that, while healthy competition and physical health can come from
bodily exertion, corruption can contaminate these benefits with the
wielding of influence and the acquisition of cultural and financial
capital. Contributors examine how the ways that resources are
allocated, the coverage of certain sports and athletes, and how
viewers view competitive arenas speak to power and privilege in
ways that can affect both athletes and athletic stakeholders,
highlighting the importance of critically examining sports media.
Scholars of media studies and sports will find this book
particularly useful.
