edTPA Standardized assessment is required for CAEP accreditation - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

edTPA

• Standardized assessment is required for CAEP accreditation Why edTPA???

• Nationally available performance-based assessment used to measure new teachers’ ability to teach in their content area. • Assessment is designed with student learning and principles from research and theory • Includes a review of a teacher candidate’s authentic teaching materials as the culmination of a teaching and learning process Purpose

• The assessment systematically examines 1) planning, 2) instruction, and 3) student assessment • Evidence includes: lesson plans, instructional materials, student assignments and assessments, feedback on student work, unedited video recordings of instruction Content Specific and Performance Based

Cycle of Effective Teaching

• How often is a teacher candidate evaluated? • If the evaluation occurs during or following the student teaching semester, what if he or she does not receive a satisfactory score? • Is passing the edTPA tied to Indiana licensure? • What is the cost and how will this be charged to candidates? • How are candidate materials and videos maintained to ensure confidentiality? • Does this dictate our curriculum? Questions we have

• Preservice candidate impact on P-12 student lerning is evaluated through recurring formative assessments and in some standardized culminating assessment that includes explicit demonstration of P-12 student learning. EPP practices that integrate pre- and post-instruction P- 12 student learning into edTPA or the ETS pre-service portfolio are among examples.

edTPA Background from pilot testing

• More than 1,000 educators • 29 states and DC • More than 430 institutions of higher ed Development

• 650 teachers and teacher educators served as scorers for the 12,000+ candidates during the field testing • 20 hours of training required before able to serve as a scorer • Validation studies reported reliability range from .83-.92 Scoring

Tasks, Artifacts, and Rubrics

• Level 1 - the low end of the scoring spectrum, representing the knowledge and skills of a struggling candidate who is not ready to teach. • Level 2 - the knowledge and skills of a candidate who is possibly ready to teach. • Level 3 - the knowledge and skills of a candidate who is ready to teach. • Level 4 - candidate with a solid foundation of knowledge and skills for a beginning teacher. • Level 5 - the advanced skills and abilities of a candidate very well qualified and ready to teach.
