Abstract
To meet accountability demands of the United States Department of Education and NCATE for the quality of teacher preparation programs, colleges of education require graduates to complete a performance based education program, subject area testing, and a portfolio. Current assessment processes do not measure the impact teacher preparation has on student learning. Oklahoma has formed a three-year partnership through USDE Title II funds called the Oklahoma Teacher Enhancement Program, to develop an assessment tool, Teacher Work Sample Methodology (TWSM) useful to Oklahoma's teacher preparation programs in meeting these national demands. This article focuses on the TWSM components, plan for implementation, the uses of the TWSM in the portfolio for teacher preparation programs, and the challenges of using the TWSM.
