AACTE and SCALE Celebrate Successful Progress for National Teacher Performance Assessment

AACTE and the Stanford Center for Assessment, Learning and Equity (SCALE) are eagerly supporting a nationwide field test of the Teacher Performance Assessment (TPA) that kicked off this spring.

The initiative has grown to now include more than 180 participating institutions in 25 states in the Teacher Performance Assessment Consortium (TPAC). Nearly 10,000 teacher candidates from across the country will submit their TPA artifacts during this spring’s field test. Results of the field test will be analyzed this summer to provide valuable reliability and validity data for continued development of the assessment.
