Truth and Consequences: The Impact of the edTPA on Teacher Education Programs and Professional Practice

• In Event: TED Panel: Truth and Consequences: The Impact of the edTPA on Teacher Education Programs and Professional Practice

Short Description

The edTPA is a standardized, three-part, performance assessment designed to measure readiness to teach. To date, 35 U.S. states require teacher candidates seeking licensure to pass this assessment. Adoption of this assessment has led teacher preparation programs to make sweeping changes to their curriculum and instruction to assure candidates are prepared. In this panel, teacher educators will share learned experiences and modifications made to their own curriculum and instruction to prepare candidates for the edTPA.
