EDU 408 - edTPA development

1 Hour(s)
This course will prepare and support students to successfully complete their edTPA. The edTPA (Teacher Performance Assessment) is an assessment that documents and demonstrates each teacher candidate’s ability to effectively teach his or her subject matter to all students. The edTPA is designed to serve as a holistic assessment that captures the complexity and depth of effective teaching. Materials assessed as part of the edTPA process include video clips of instruction, lesson plans, student work samples, analysis of student learning, and reflective commentaries. edTPA portfolios are sent to Pearson and reviewed by a national pool of scorers. This course will provide mini-lessons and workshops for each of the 15 rubric areas, instruction related to artifact analysis and selection, and individualized support.
