We explored the ways teachers assess children's literate learning and their own professional effectiveness in teaching children to become literate. We were particularly interested in how their assessment techniques and frameworks were influenced by their knowledge, values, and teaching situation. During interviews we asked teachers to describe their instructional goals, assessment strategies, and the literacy development of two different children they knew well. Both assessment techniques and teachers' descriptive assessments of their students reflected their knowledge and the constraints under which they worked. Elementary school teachers' assessments of their students were more detailed than those of high school teachers, except when elementary school teachers were strictly required to use a basal reading program and were under heavy threat of accountability testing. When teachers were constrained to follow a basal reader and assessment was test driven, even though they might know and love literature, this knowledge did not show up in their descriptions of children's literacy development. When children's literature dominated the classroom, teachers generally viewed students' development through the books they were choosing to read and discuss and through the reflections of those books in students' writing. When tests and basals ruled the classroom, descriptions of development were framed by tests or test-like language. In this latter situation, descriptions of the students' development were relatively scant and tended to be impersonal, reflecting a lack of detailed knowledge of the students and a less personal, less involving relationship. |
