We are excited to announce that SCALE will convene the annual Teacher Performance Assessment (TPA) Conference on March 26-28, 2020 in Austin, TX.  We look forward to this opportunity to bring together implementers of edTPA, policymakers, state leaders, and researchers, the P-12 community and all individuals who support teachers and teacher candidates with performance assessment. More logistical details – including hotel information – and a call for proposals will be announced in late summer 2019 – stay tuned!

The edTPA Coordinator is the central point of contact for receiving information about edTPA (edTPA assessment materials, handbooks, rubrics, distribution instructions, etc.). An edTPA Coordinator may be a faculty member, program coordinator, associate dean, or other person who maintains regular communication and works closely with clinical supervisors, cooperating teachers and others who will support candidates to complete edTPA.

To determine who is designated as the edTPA Coordinator for your program, review the following directory: https://secure.aacte.org/apps/directory/directory.php?view=by_inst.
To change your edTPA Coordinator, please email edtpa@aacte.org.

Updated versions of the edTPA handbooks, templates, and supplemental resources are now available in the edTPA Resource Library for the 2019 – 2020 edTPA program year. The updates to the assessment materials incorporate errata items, and no other changes have been made aside from the incorporation from the errata items.

edTPA members, educator preparation programs, and faculty have access to download and share the updated materials with teacher candidates per the distribution guidelines. In August 2019, the updated handbooks and templates will also be posted to all platform provider systems and the Pearson ePortfolio System for teacher candidates. Candidates planning to submit on, or before, the August 15, 2019, submission deadline should continue to use the current assessment materials. Please review the Assessment Materials Version Chart for the most current versions available of the assessment materials.
