EdTPA (Educational Teacher Performance Assessment)

The EdTPA (Educational Teacher Performance Assessment) is a comprehensive evaluation process used to measure a teacher candidate's readiness to teach effectively. It involves preparing and submitting evidence of their teaching practice, including lesson plans, student work, and reflections, which demonstrate their ability to plan instruction, engage students, assess learning, and adapt teaching strategies. This assessment aims to ensure that new teachers meet professional standards and are capable of supporting student success. Typically used for certification, EdTPA promotes reflective practice and provides a consistent measure of teaching competence across different educational settings.
