The 2017-2018 edTPA portfolio submission and score reporting schedule has been posted on edtpa.com. This schedule includes a three-week turnaround time for score reporting in all 27 edTPA handbooks and is applicable to candidates registering for initial submissions, as well as to candidates registering for a partial- or full-assessment retake.

• Elementary Literacy,
• Literacy Specialist,
• Special Education, and
• World Language.
