Tasks and the Cycle of Effective Teaching

The three edTPA tasks represent a cycle of effective teaching (i.e., teaching that is focused on student learning). Planning Task 1 documents your intended teaching, Instruction Task 2 documents your enacted teaching, and Assessment Task 3 documents the impact of your teaching on student learning.

Key edTPA Supports:

1. The Making Good Choices Guide is a support document that will help you make critical decisions as you complete your edTPA tasks. (Special Education Making Good Choices Guide)

2. Introduction to edTPA PowerPoint and overview video.

3. Understanding Rubric Level Progressions (Coming Soon) This guide will help you analyze the rubrics and understand what is expected at each performance level.

4. Academic Language Resources (Coming Soon) - Subject-specific guides to support your understanding of academic language and language demands for edTPA.

Each language demand is defined in the glossary of your handbook.

The Understanding Academic Language in edTPA: Supporting Learning and Language Development guide gives you a basic overview of Academic Language for each subject area. Each guide is located below.
