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.

The Educative Assessment and Meaningful Support: 2017 edTPA Administrative Report is now publicly available. The report describes edTPA’s continued expansion and support as the first nationally available performance-based assessment and support system for entry level educators. Of the 39,566 15-rubric handbook portfolios scored, 86% were submitted in states where edTPA is required for initial educator licensure, certification, or program completion/program approval. Findings and analyses are presented in the report to reaffirm reliability and consistency of scoring, examine evidence of validity, and document trends in candidate performance.

edTPA has been used operationally to assess teacher candidates since fall 2013 and is now used in 41 states. Membership in the edTPA online community, first launched in 2011, has grown to about 10,300 faculty from more than 790 educator preparation programs. The extensive support infrastructure available to edTPA members includes more than 175 resources that have been downloaded more than 1.3 million times.
