  In Roundtable Session: What Gets Talked About? Examining Curricular Inclusion and Exclusion

Abstract

In this presentation, I examine the edTPA as a standardized model of reflective practice. Focusing on the epistemological constitution of reflection as it relates to the test, as well as how this epistemic framing gets taken up methodologically, I seek to better understand the ways in which the edTPA represents a curriculum of mastery. Specifically, I aim to uncover how standardization operates to concretize “reflection” as an object to be produced by teacher education students and subsequently consumed by evaluators.
