edTPA

Why edTPA???

• Standardized assessment is required for CAEP

accreditation

Purpose

• Nationally available performance-based assessment used

to measure new teachers’ ability to teach in their content area.

• Assessment is designed with student learning and

principles from research and theory

• Includes a review of a teacher candidate’s authentic

teaching materials as the culmination of a teaching and learning process

Content Specific and Performance Based

• The assessment systematically examines 1) planning, 2)

instruction, and 3) student assessment

• Evidence includes: lesson plans, instructional materials,

student assignments and assessments, feedback on student work, unedited video recordings of instruction

Cycle of Effective Teaching

Questions we have

• How often is a teacher candidate evaluated?
• If the evaluation occurs during or following the student

teaching semester, what if he or she does not receive a satisfactory score?

• Is passing the edTPA tied to Indiana licensure?
• What is the cost and how will this be charged to

candidates?

• How are candidate materials and videos maintained to

ensure confidentiality?

• Does this dictate our curriculum?

CAEP Requirements – Impact of P-12 Learning and Development

• Preservice candidate impact on P-12 student lerning is

evaluated through recurring formative assessments and in some standardized culminating assessment that includes explicit demonstration of P-12 student learning. EPP practices that integrate pre- and post-instruction P- 12 student learning into edTPA or the ETS pre-service portfolio are among examples.

PPAT Four Tasks

Task Title Type Description Scoring

Task 1: Knowledge of students and the learning environment

Formative

• Focuses on the beginning steps of a

teacher candidate’s practice

• Provides first steps for portfolio

creation

• Includes feedback from cooperating

teacher Locally evaluated by faculty advisor

Task 2: Assessment and data collection to measure and inform student learning

Summative

• Focuses on specific standards for using

data to inform instruction

• Requires reflective analysis: what did I

teach? What did they learn? How do I know? Centrally scored anonymously by trained educators

Task 3: Designing instruction for student learning

Summative

• Focuses on standards for classroom

instruction, including the use of technology to enhance instruction Centrally scored anonymously by trained educators

Task 4: Implementing and analyzing instruction to promote student learning

Summative

• Focuses on ability to use research-based

instructional strategies and adapt instruction for individual needs

• Assesses a range of standards with some
• verlap from other tasks
• Includes a 15-minute video submission
• Reflects on overall teaching practice

Background from pilot testing

Development

• More than 1,000 educators
• 29 states and DC
• More than 430 institutions of higher ed

Scoring

• 650 teachers and teacher educators served as scorers for

the 12,000+ candidates during the field testing

• 20 hours of training required before able to serve as a

scorer

• Validation studies reported reliability range from .83-.92

Tasks, Artifacts, and Rubrics

Rubrics

• Level 1 - the low end of the scoring spectrum,

representing the knowledge and skills of a struggling candidate who is not ready to teach.

• Level 2 - the knowledge and skills of a candidate who is

possibly ready to teach.

• Level 3 - the knowledge and skills of a candidate who is

ready to teach.

• Level 4 - candidate with a solid foundation of knowledge

and skills for a beginning teacher.

• Level 5 - the advanced skills and abilities of a candidate

very well qualified and ready to teach.
