Sustainable Assessment and Lifelong Learning: Standards for Excellence and the Development of Teacher Identity Conclusions

The AAMT Standards for Excellence provide a framework through which teacher identity can be developed and evaluated. While pre-service teachers cannot be expected to show highly accomplished practice, as described by the Standards for Excellence, the Standards can provide a vision of what it means to be an excellent teacher. The portfolio and interview assessment task described above enabled students to describe their own experiences in the light of the Standards for Excellence. In the process it would appear that this assessment task met many of the criteria for sustainable assessment described by Boud (2000). In particular the students' unprompted reflections provided clear evidence that they were able to evaluate their on-going learning and development without being dependent on formal, external feedback mechanisms. The portfolio and interview assessment served both the immediate purpose of evaluating current knowledge and the long-term purpose of giving students a framework for their life-long journey as teachers of mathematics.

Of course this assessment task did not stand alone. It was part of a course that included extensive instruction, discussion, reading and reflection. Yet it appeared to pull together students' experiences in a very powerful and revealing way. The extent to which the developing sense of identity exhibited by these students grows and develops through their careers as teachers remains to be seen, and could profitably be the subject of further research. The AAMT Standards for Excellence for Teaching Mathematics in Australian Schools provides an ideal framework by which such a longitudinal study of teachers' identity could be conducted.
