Anything Else to Share?• edTPA is a Rigorous Assessment – “I was heavily involved with
NBPTS for a long time as a NBCT, district support person, and a trainer for over 7 years. There are many aspects of the TPA process that mirrors what NBPTS candidates do as well.”
• edTPA promotes Professional Development – “While it seems to students to be a monumental task, and one they do not necessarily want to do, it gives them the framework of processes for what they will need to continue to do at all stages of their career in order to fully develop as a professional teacher – students eventually will see how TPA promotes their own professionalism and it will become a professional “way of life” for them.”
• More Training is Needed – “I would like to be able to go through the evaluation process so I can better understand how to help my candidates.”
Strengths of the edTPA (conveyed by the Ohio TPA Coordinators)
• “The TPA covers important needs of new teachers: it provides the needed emphasis on using data analysis to determine the extent of student learning, helps new teachers to reflect on their planning, implementation, flexibility to change plans during a lesson, communication and collaboration.”
• “The TPA has caused us to add academic language to our curriculum along with more systematic, in-depth inclusion of theory and research.”
• “It is a comprehensive and performance-based assessment. It is based on theory and requires candidates to really think critically and be intentional about their teaching practices.”
• “The possibility of the standardization of licensure across states was cited as a potential benefit of a national TPA structure.”

edTPA Participation: Ohio
Now What?• Getting …
Re: Data Results
Candidate Results• During the Field Test, candidate results
are only sent to their designated IHE.
• Therefore, distribution would need to be facilitated through the IHE to the candidate, if desired.
