Mastering edTPA: Resources and Tips for Teacher Candidates - The Teacher Mentor

The edTPA is an assessment for aspiring teachers to demonstrate their teaching abilities. Planning for edTPA should start about two months before the submission deadline, and the chosen lesson must align with Common Core State Standards and cater to students’ specific needs. The video should display active student participation and the use of academic language. Important resources include specific handbooks, school or program resources, the edTPA website, and submission and reporting dates. It is crucial to start early, ask questions, and carefully choose focus students and standards.
