It's a standardized test essentially. ]]> 2016-06-13 15:15:10 UTC https://padlet.com/cristinawashell/3a9jky8h5x1t/wish/114504216 EdTPA https://padlet.com/cristinawashell/3a9jky8h5x1t/wish/114504259 I do not think that EdTPA is a good measure of teacher preparedness because it is a snapshot of a teachers abilities and does not fully measure whether or not a teacher is fully capable of their position.

It is the high stakes test of higher education. It takes a glimpse of what we know and determines how well we can do our job. Instead, we should be looking at a larger collection of everything we do in the junior and senior years such as our portfolio. https://padlet.com/cristinawashell/3a9jky8h5x1t/wish/114505142 2016-06-13 15:23:04 UTC https://padlet.com/cristinawashell/3a9jky8h5x1t/wish/114505142 https://padlet.com/cristinawashell/3a9jky8h5x1t/wish/114505145 No, because it doesn't allow you to teach all subject area. ]]> 2016-06-13 15:23:06 UTC https://padlet.com/cristinawashell/3a9jky8h5x1t/wish/114505145 https://padlet.com/cristinawashell/3a9jky8h5x1t/wish/114505149 I do not think edTPA is a good measure because it concentrates on lesson planning alot  and we saw that teachers do not put alot  of information into their lesson plan templates but content instead. ]]> 2016-06-13 15:23:08 UTC https://padlet.com/cristinawashell/3a9jky8h5x1t/wish/114505149 No. It only gets a few teaching moments, and the people grading can't get a true feel for the teaching. https://padlet.com/cristinawashell/3a9jky8h5x1t/wish/114505153 2016-06-13 15:23:11 UTC https://padlet.com/cristinawashell/3a9jky8h5x1t/wish/114505153 https://padlet.com/cristinawashell/3a9jky8h5x1t/wish/114505184 I do not think it is a good method of making sure a teacher is prepared, because Edtpa does not see everything]]> 2016-06-13 15:23:22 UTC https://padlet.com/cristinawashell/3a9jky8h5x1t/wish/114505184 I think edtpa has done the best they can to create a standardized process to measure teacher preparedness, but it's not going to be as accurate as a supervisor, and it's going to have flaws because it's hard to measure something that is so internal.  https://padlet.com/cristinawashell/3a9jky8h5x1t/wish/114505185 2016-06-13 15:23:22 UTC https://padlet.com/cristinawashell/3a9jky8h5x1t/wish/114505185 https://padlet.com/cristinawashell/3a9jky8h5x1t/wish/114505190 I don't think it is a good tool to measure teacher preparedness because it is only assessing certain aspects of our teaching ability. ]]> 2016-06-13 15:23:24 UTC https://padlet.com/cristinawashell/3a9jky8h5x1t/wish/114505190 No. It only shows some of your teaching abilities and not all of your  skills. https://padlet.com/cristinawashell/3a9jky8h5x1t/wish/114505261 2016-06-13 15:23:58 UTC https://padlet.com/cristinawashell/3a9jky8h5x1t/wish/114505261 https://padlet.com/cristinawashell/3a9jky8h5x1t/wish/114505294 No, I do not think it is a good way to measure teacher preparedness. ]]> 2016-06-13 15:24:19 UTC https://padlet.com/cristinawashell/3a9jky8h5x1t/wish/114505294 https://padlet.com/cristinawashell/3a9jky8h5x1t/wish/114505348 No, because it doesn't allow you to teach all arras]]> 2016-06-13 15:24:41 UTC https://padlet.com/cristinawashell/3a9jky8h5x1t/wish/114505348 https://padlet.com/cristinawashell/3a9jky8h5x1t/wish/114505352 I'm not sure, it seems like it requires things that many teaches won't use once they are actually teaching ]]> 2016-06-13 15:24:42 UTC https://padlet.com/cristinawashell/3a9jky8h5x1t/wish/114505352 https://padlet.com/cristinawashell/3a9jky8h5x1t/wish/114505354 I do not think that EdTPA is a good measure of teacher preparedness because it is a snapshot of a teachers abilities and does not fully measure whether or not a teacher is fully capable of their position.
