Teaching Performance Assessment

Teaching Performance Assessment (TPA) is a process used to evaluate whether aspiring teachers have the skills and knowledge needed to effectively teach students. It typically involves candidates planning lessons, teaching students, and reflecting on their teaching practices. This comprehensive approach ensures teachers can design engaging lessons, manage the classroom, and assess student learning. The goal is to verify readiness to responsibly support student development and academic success. TPAs are often part of teacher certification or licensure requirements, ensuring that qualified professionals are prepared to foster a positive and effective learning environment.
