The edTPA is a performance-based assessment used by teacher preparation programs throughout the US to measure and support the skills and knowledge required of teachers in the classroom.
Aspiring teachers must prepare a portfolio of materials during their student teaching experience. This includes unedited video recordings of themselves at work in a real classroom. The portfolio is then scored by highly-trained educators.
edTPA is a subject-specific assessment with versions for twenty-eight different teaching fields. All versions focus on three tasks: Planning, Instruction, and Assessment.
