New Resource!!! SCALE has created a set of academic language resources for the majority of edTPA subject areas. These handouts summarize the concept of academic language within the context of edTPA and provide subject-specific examples of language functions, demands, and supports. We encourage faculty/programs to use and share this go-to resource when discussing the role of academic language in edTPA with candidates.

We hope you enjoy this issue of the edTPA newsletter.

As we continue to build a community to support and explore new ways to prepare effective beginning teachers, please let us know if you have stories to share from your campus or events you want to announce at edtpa@aacte.org.

The schedule for all fields for 2016-17 has been posted on edTPA.com. An additional 2015-16 submission and reporting window has also been posted.
