edTPA is a performance-based, subject-specific assessment and support system used by more than 600 teacher preparation programs in some 40 states to emphasize, measure and support the skills and knowledge that all teachers need from Day 1 in the classroom.

Developed by educators for educators, edTPA is the first such standards-based assessment to become nationally available in the United States. It builds on decades of work on assessments of teacher performance and research regarding teaching skills that improve student learning.

It is transforming the preparation and certification of new teachers by complementing subject-area assessments with a rigorous process that requires teacher candidates to demonstrate that they have the classroom skills necessary to ensure students are learning.

You should follow the procedures of the educator preparation program to secure permission to video record during your student teaching placement. Classroom videos may be viewed only by school district personnel, education faculty, and official scorers. Under no circumstances may they be shared or posted online, and those who violate this restriction risk losing their teaching license. Once permissions are secured, you should practice video recording before the edTPA to learn how to capture clear video and audio in a classroom setting and to get students acclimated to having a video camera in the room.

There is a $300 fee for edTPA that covers all development costs and operational assessment services associated with the resources and support for implementation, delivery, scoring and reporting of edTPA, as well as customer support service for candidates and faculty. Assessment services also include the recruiting and management of qualified educators who serve as scorers, scoring supervisors, and trainers. Scorers are trained specifically to edTPA rubrics, they use standardized scoring procedures and are calibrated and monitored during scoring.
Additional score reports are $50 and retake costs are $100 for a single task or $300 for a complete edTPA.

Co-Teaching Model of student teaching & How can it be used for edTPA:

# data[].attributes.body
Many educator preparation programs are incorporating a co-teaching model of student teaching, where the cooperating teacher and student teacher plan collaboratively and share teaching responsibilities. Co-teaching can take a variety of forms:

1. One person teaching while the other observes or assists students.
2. One person teaching while the other works with a small group needing extra support or a challenge.
3. Both teaching as a team or in parallel at different stations.
4. Both taking turns with the teaching of particular classes, units, lessons, or activities.

Co-teaching provides extensive modeling and feedback for the student teacher while boosting student learning and sustaining a high quality of instruction in the cooperating teacher’s classes. Student teachers are still responsible for writing their own plans for instruction and may often teach on their own while the cooperating teacher attends to other duties. Student teachers will also be responsible for planning, instructing, and assessing the class during the edTPA learning segment.
