My name is Christina Espinoza and I am currently a 4th grade teacher at April Lane Elementary. I have not started the process! I do remember my credential program having us submit annotated videos as practice but that was a while ago. I believe I may still have them saved in my coursework. Never made an actual attempt.

My name is Francisco Fernandez and I teach 6th grade at AK. I am just starting my CalTPA. I have been honestly avoiding the TPA because of how daunting it seems. Just knowing that there is a better passing rate in the BAR exam to become a lawyer than the CalTPA does not make it any easier. I hoping this class helps me reduce anxiety into tackling this TPA.
