Anthony, Mississippi State University  \nAbstract  \nPreparing high-quality teachers is supposed to be the responsibility of state Departments of Education and university teacher education programs, yet the mandated Teacher Performance Assessment (edTPA) is operated by Pearson, a private corporation. Standing on the frontline to implement edTPA, faculty have witnessed equity issues within the system that cause concern. Furthermore, faculty are essentially mandated to work for a private corporation. In this paper, we address the impacts of edTPA across p-20 education, including pilot studies of edTPA by university faculty across states to confront the privately copyrighted teacher performance assessments. We argue that allowing a private corporation to operate such an important assessment is against the value of U.S. public education, and has failed many capable teacher candidates. In conclusion, we provide recommendations for stakeholders to eliminate edTPA to ensure equitable access to high-quality education.  \nKeywords: edTPA, P-20 education, teacher performance assessments, teacher education  \nPreparing high-quality teachers is supposed to be the responsibility of state Departments of Education and university teacher education programs, yet Pearson, a private corporation operates the mandated Teacher Performance Assessment (edTPA). In 2019, the Thomas J. Dodd Research Center at the University of Connecticut published concerns about edTPA: 1) diminishment of candidate learning, 2) perpetuation of inequitable systems, and 3) application of developmentally inappropriate standards (Bernard, Kaufman, Kohan, & Mitoma, 2019) . For states which do not have state teacher performance assessments in place, it is easier for them to simply adopt edTPA rather than to spend time and money on developing the state’s own, non-profit teacher performance assessments. Many educators in the field stay silent because they view having an assessment for teacher candidates as better than having no assessment, or they see themselves as powerless or too precariously positioned to do anything about it. There are many people who feel disenfranchised, so they do not act or speak up. For example, adjunct professors who teach in education departments as well as students who feel powerless about what systems they have to move through. The lack of research evidence on their state-created teacher performance assessments also makes educators reluctant to judge the quality of edTPA.  \nDeveloped by measurement scholars at the Stanford Center for Assessment (SCALE), supported by the American Association of Colleges of Teacher Education (AACTE), and operated by Pearson, the edTPA’s use has been mandated in eighteen states (SCALE, 2019) . The Council for  \nthe Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) also supports the adoption of the edTPA overstate-created teacher performance assessments. However, many questions have arisen about the power being granted to edTPA and Pearson. Standing on the frontline of implement edTPA, university faculty have witnessed many equity concerns about edTPA across p-20 education. What faculty are mandated to do has crossed lines of doing the work for a private corporation.  \nIn this paper, we aim to continue dialogues that confront edTPA and address the impacts of edTPA across p-20 education. We include university faculty’s pilot studies of edTPA in the states of Vermont and Mississippi. Finally, we provide recommendations for state governors, university faculty members, p-12 educators, and teacher candidates to eliminate the use of edTPA to ensure equitable access to quality education in p-20 education.  \nImpacts at the P-12 School Level  \nImpact 1.
