HB 1 requires all teacher education institutions to develop common
metrics to submit to the state
Metrics were developed by the Ohio Board of Regents in consultation
with the teacher education institutions
TPA is one of the metrics.
TPA will be aligned with the summative assessment for the Ohio
Resident Educator program.
Ohio is one of 21 other states moving towards adoption of the TPA and is
also one of 5 “accelerated states.” The current Ohio timeline:
 2010-2011: Pilot at least one task in at least one content area (CSU
piloted all three tasks with 8 students in 3 content areas)
 2011-2012: Full implementation of TPA in at least one content area
(CSU goal is to implement TPA with at least half of all student
teachers in Spring 2012)
 2012-2013: Full implementation of TPA in all content areas
 2013-2014: Full, high-stakes implementation of TPA
