Graduate Teacher Performance Assessment

The Graduate Teacher Performance Assessment (GTPA) is a comprehensive evaluation process used to assess the skills and effectiveness of teachers in training. It involves candidates demonstrating their ability to plan, deliver, and reflect on teaching practices through real classroom experiences. The assessment typically includes submitting lesson plans, student work samples, and reflections, along with a written or video-recorded teaching demonstration. Its goal is to ensure that future teachers are well-prepared, knowledgeable, and capable of supporting student learning effectively. This process helps teacher preparation programs maintain high standards and improve teaching quality.
