2011-2012
TPA in 2012-2013 Full participation in TPA by all teacher preparation programs. All candidates
in programs with a TPA handbook, including fields that will use the generic handbook, should complete a full TPA during student teaching in 2012-13.
Report participation data only for PERCA. Each teacher preparation program should report how many candidates completed a TPA as part of the 2012-2013 data reported for PERCA. Candidate scores will not be reported in 2012-13 and those scores will not be consequential for program continual approval.
Assessment of candidates’ TPAs should be primarily campus-based with a minimum threshold submitted for official scoring.
Future
Fall 2013
Full edTPA participation; all programs will require all teacher candidates doing student teaching to complete the edTPA.*
All edTPAs will be assessed to provide feedback to candidates; scoring may include local assessment, official scoring, or a combination.
Special Education programs will be provided vouchers for approximately 20% of candidates to submit materials for official scoring at no cost to the candidate or the program. The vouchers should be distributed across all Special Education licensure fields; if a Special Education licensure field has no teacher candidates in the fall, the vouchers may be carried into the spring semester.
Elementary Education programs may locally determine which K-6 handbook candidates will use by assigning literacy or mathematics or allowing the candidates to choose between these two handbooks.
Spring 2014
Full edTPA participation; all programs will require all teacher candidates doing student teaching to complete the edTPA. *
All candidates completing student teaching must submit to Pearson for official scoring. *
Special Education programs are strongly encouraged to require all teacher candidates doing student teaching to complete the edTPA. All edTPAs will be assessed to provide feedback to candidates; scoring may include local assessment, official scoring, or a combination. Unused vouchers from the fall may be carried over into the spring semester for official scoring. *
Elementary Education programs may locally determine which K-6 handbook candidates by assigning literacy or mathematics or allowing the candidates to choose between these two handbooks.* Due to changes in other Board of Teaching requirements specific to Special Education fields as well as changes in the edTPA handbook for Special Education, the Board has offered flexibility for Special Education programs in achieving full participation.
A scalable* assessment that:
Provides evidence of teaching quality – readiness to teach
Supports teacher preparation program renewal
Informs programs & policy makers about qualities of teaching associated with student learning
*Minnesota is a multiple measure state that does not depend solely on the edTPA score for licensure
Developing a national performance standard
What’s in it for Teacher Education?
Rich feedback regarding program effectiveness
Clear insight with what we all told ourselves was “infused throughout the curriculum”
Independent, objective affirmation regarding the quality of our programs
Breaking the habit of “giving them the benefit of the doubt”
8
What’s in it for our P-12 School Partners?
Sharper focus on teacher effectiveness as a positive impact on student learning
Candidates, as prospective hires, practicing to address more directly what administrators value
Minimal to no new impact on cooperating teachers*
Generating rich discussion of teacher effectiveness

STATE TEACHER MODEL_Implementation Handbook
Welcome to the Profession of Teaching
Voices from the field "The first year...how does this align to what I had to do in the edTPA?“
Nicole Barrick Renner about edTPA
Debra Walden, 2012
“I found the process challenging, instructive, intimidating and overwhelming at times,” says Walden, looking back from the vantage point of being a first-year teacher now at the Crosswinds Arts and Science School outside St. Paul. “We still had to pass our standardized tests, but it was the edTPA that forced us to ask, ‘What is best for the students?’”
Melissa Greene, Spring 2013
“I found edTPA to be a tool that emphasizes putting a focus on each student, while asking myself if they are really learning the material I am trying to teach,” Greene says.
“As a special education teacher, that’s what I have to do from the start; I have to develop an individual learning plan for every one of my students, based on their strengths and weaknesses,” Greene continued. “So it’s very reaffirming for a special ed teacher to know that all new teachers will have to learn how to design their teaching to meet the needs of all students. I can see that the edTPA will push younger teacher candidates to adapt their teaching style to achieve focus, along with constantly asking themselves if their students are learning.”
Effective Teachers . . .
Engage students in active learning
Create intellectually ambitious tasks
Use a variety of teaching strategies
Assess student learning Continuously
Adapt teaching to student needs
Create effective scaffolds and supports
Provide clear standards, constant feedback, and opportunities for revising work
Develop and effectively manage a collaborative classroom in which all students have membership.

With colleagues and candidates:
Review of specific terms
Compare your usage with the definitions in the glossary
Consider that as novices, teacher candidates will not automatically make the connections on their own
Creating common understanding
When talking with candidates and pointing out differences, use the time as a teachable moment about how the same terms can have different meanings.

EmbeddingRead through the rubrics and highlight those words which you use:
During instruction
In assignments
When giving feedback about fieldwork/clinical observations
Consider the scope and sequence of your program and ask:
Which rubric(s) fit well in the courses already?
What courses “touch” on the rubric content and how can we make our emphasis more deliberate?
Are there any rubrics that do not fit in our program anywhere?
Upcoming opportunities
Scorer training around October 1 Specific times to be determined as well as location Each MACTE Institution has a designated edTPA Coordinator. This
coordinator has access to many resources and can guide you as you consider how to embed some of the rubric content into courses.
