Abstract	This study explores the appropriateness of the Performance Assessment for California Teachers (PACT) as an instrument of assessing English-language arts (ELA) teacher candidates' effectiveness in a rural border community. Eight -candidates participated in the study. The findings call into question the adequacy of PACT to assess the candidates' effectiveness in light of the ways in which the school constrains their abilities from developing culturally relevant practices. (As Provided).
