Teacher Performance Assessment (TPA)

The Teacher Performance Assessment (TPA) is a standardized evaluation system designed to assess a teacher candidate's readiness for the classroom. It involves a series of tasks that demonstrate teaching skills, including lesson planning, instructional delivery, and student assessment. Candidates submit recordings of their teaching, plans, and analyses of student learning. The TPA aims to ensure that new teachers are competent and effective in promoting student learning, providing a consistent measure of teaching quality that helps schools identify well-prepared educators. Overall, it's an important step in teacher credentialing and improving educational standards.
