Program Questions to Assist with Journey

● What classes are best to include edTPA content?● Do you have current assignments that can

utilized/enhanced/aligned?● Are the assignments spread out over the course

of the program/do they scaffold appropriately? ● Do you want to grade specific/all edTPA

components prior to the real deal?

TCNJ HPET Ongoing Questions…

● Connecting with CAEP??? ● Is edTPA a good idea in Clinical Practice I?● Where can/should we simplify or expand

assignments?● Is “teaching to the test” a good thing?

Thank you!Questions?
