Information
& Training Session

2. What is edTPA?
Student-centered, multiple-measures portfolio assessment
Subject-Specific “Learning Segment” of 3-5 days/hours of instruction
Plans based on context and knowledge about students
Portfolio collection of artifacts and commentaries

3. Student Take-Aways
edTPA is a portfolio assessment – not that different from the student teacher work sample most programs normally do
Your cooperating teacher and university supervisor will be aware that you are completing the edTPA; it is ok if they don’t have a lot of familiarity with it
There is a video component. Some programs have practiced videotaping, others haven’t. We will have training sessions for the technology.
Students from last semester who participated in pilot really didn’t think it was too difficult
We will be doing everything possible this semester and next to get you ready and comfortable to complete edTPA
