EDTPA - TEACHER PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT
edTPA is a preservice assessment process that stems from a
twenty-five year history of developing performance based
assessments of teaching quality and effectiveness. The
Teacher Performance Assessment Consortium (Stanford and
the American Association of College for Teacher Education –
AACTE) acknowledges the National Board for Professional
Teaching Standards, the Interstate Teacher Assessment and
Support Consortium, and the Performance Assessment for
California Teachers for their pioneering work using discipline
–specific portfolio assessments to evaluate teaching quality.

edTPA reached across the aisle to various national subject
specific organizations such as; AAHPERD, ACEI, ACTFL, AMLE,
CEC, IRA, NAEYC, NAGC, NCSS, NCTE, NCTM, NSTA for their
content validation reviewers and to in short develop a
handbook with thoughtful input from over 600 teachers
from a variety of disciplines.
