Chico  \nChairman  \nof Education  \nChristopher A. Koch, Ed.D.  \nState Superintendent of Education  \nedTPA: An Evidence-Based Assessment of Teacher Effectiveness  \nWhat is edTPA™?  \n􀂾 The Illinois School Code requires that teacher preparation programs in Illinois begin phasing in an “evidence-based assessment of teacher effectiveness.” As of Sept. 1, 2015, all teacher candidates for licensure will have to pass such an assessment in order to complete their teacher preparation programs and apply for licensure.  \n􀂾 edTPA, an assessment designed by Stanford University, is the “evidencebased assessment of teacher effectiveness” that has been approved by the State Board of Education in consultation with the State Educator Preparation and Licensure Board.  \n􀂾 edTPA has been piloted and/or implemented in various states around the country, including Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming.  \n􀂾 edTPA is meant to serve as a capstone assessment and complements other assessments of teacher readiness required by ISBE and the candidate’s individual program of study.  \n􀂾 edTPA is designed to measure teacher candidate effectiveness in the classroom by focusing on student learning.  \n􀂾 edTPA includes a review of a teacher candidate's authentic teaching materials, including short video clips of instruction, lesson plans, student work samples, analysis of student learning and reflective commentaries.  \n􀂾 edTPA assessments are securely submitted via an electronic online  \nplatform and are scored by carefully selected evaluators, who include teacher education faculty, clinical supervisors, K-12 teachers,  \nadministrators and National Board Certified Teachers.  \n􀂾 edTPA is aligned with the Interstate Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (InTASC) standards, and various professional standards, depending on the subject area, including Common Core State Standards and Specialized Professional Association (SPA) standards. edTPA also aligns with the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) standards.  \nWhat are the legal authorities and ISBE rules regarding edTPA?  \n􀂾 The Illinois School Code provides, at 105 ILCS 5/21B-30(f): “Beginning on September 1, 2015, all candidates completing teacher preparation programs in this State are required to pass an evidence-based assessment of teacher effectiveness approved by the State Board of Education, in consultation with the State Educator Preparation and Licensure Board. All recognized institutions offering approved teacher preparation programs must begin phasing in the approved teacher performance assessment no later than July 1, 2013.”  \n􀂾 ISBE’s administrative rules, at 23 Ill. Adm. Code 25.720(e), provide:“Beginning September 1, 2015, each candidate completing an educator preparation program in a teaching field shall be required to pass the TPA (see Section 21B-30(f) of the School Code) . 1) Each recognized institution offering approved teacher preparation programs shall administer the TPA during a candidate’s student teaching experience. 2) No later than July 1, 2013, each recognized institution offering an approved teacher preparation program shall begin using the TPA with at least some of its students; however, before September 1, 2015, an institution shall not require passage of the TPA as a condition for program completion for students participating in any limited implementation required under this subsection (e)(2) unless the institution requires that all candidates pass the assessment.”  \nHow does edTPA affect school districts?  \n􀂾 Teacher candidates will be completing edTPA during student teaching.  \n􀂾 Teacher candidates will be required to s","cbCaioqXyK9xMQwH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioqXyK9xMQwH","pdf",43047,"English","# What is edTPA™?\n## What are the legal authorities and ISBE rules regarding edTPA?\n# How does edTPA affect school districts?\n## What can school districts do to support teacher candidates?\n# Security and Privacy during the edTPA Process","[{\"question\":\"What is edTPA and what is it designed to measure?\",\"answer\":\"edTPA is an evidence-based assessment approved for Illinois teacher preparation.
