The process used is similar to the process used for National Board certification. The student teacher must upload a professional portfolio to Pearson’s secure site. Specific items reflecting the competencies must be present in the portfolio including video recordings of the student teacher interacting with students in the classroom, lesson plans, student work samples, analysis of student learning, planning and assessment documentation, and reflective commentaries.  \nIs the edTPA required for subsequent endorsements?  \nNo. The TPA is only required for initial teaching licensure in Illinois. If an individual already holds a PEL, the edTPA will not be required for subsequent endorsements. The edTPA is only required for licensure in teaching fields.  \nWho evaluates the edTPA?  \nPearson, ISBE’s testing partner, is responsible for the assessment of the edTPA. Pearson will train evaluators to review the assessments. Evaluators are comprised of university faculty and K-12 educators who are subject matter experts.  \nHow long are scores valid?  \nIndefinitely.  \nWhich edTPA aligns with each Illinois program?  \nFor candidates completing an Illinois teacher preparation program: A corresponding edTPA Handbook alignment spreadsheet showing what assessment should be taken for specific Illinois programs is attached to this document. Any of the three elementary education assessments (Elementary Education, Elementary Literacy, or Elementary Mathematics) may be taken for elementary education. If an educator in a K-9 elementary program is completing student teaching in a middle school setting, oneof the middle school assessments may be used instead.  \nFor applicants who completed an out-of-state teacher preparation program: Any edTPA will be honored for Illinois licensure.  \nWhen is the Assessment of Professional Teaching test (APT) required vs. the edTPA?  \nThe edTPA is required for any student completing an educator preparation program on or after September 1, 2015. Candidates who completed student teaching prior to August 31, 2015 may pass the APT or submit a passing edTPA score if the portfolio was officially scored.  \nIf an individual completed the edTPA during the pilot testing period, can those pilot results be used for program completion and licensure requirements?  \nYes, but only if the assessment was officially scored.  \nMust scores be posted in ELIS before they can be honored by an institution for program completion orlicensure?  \nYes. As with all other licensure tests, a passing edTPA score must be on file in the educator’s ELIS account.  \nHow can a candidate request scores from a previously-completed edTPA be sent to ISBE?  \nResults will be reported to any institution and/or state teacher licensure agency that the candidate indicated as a score recipient upon registration. A candidate may request that an additional official copy be sent to an additional state or institution by submitting a completed edTPA Score Profile Request Form. The fee for this service is $50 per recipient.  \nISBE will not receive official score reports retroactively for candidates who participated in the assessment prior to Illinois being onboarded as an official score reporting state. (Illinois was first listed as an official score reporting state on 2/12/15 for in-state candidates and 3/24/15 for out-of-state program completers. )  \nCan institutions of higher education receive official score reports?  \nIf your institution holds a membership at the Implementation level with Pearson, your institution can receive official score reports.
