What is edTPA?

"edTPA is a preservice assessment process designed by educators to answer the essential question: 'Is a new teacher ready for the job?' edTPA includes a review of a teacher candidate's authentic teaching materials as the culmination of a teaching and learning process that documents and demonstrates each candidate's ability to effectively teach his/her subject matter to all students" (ACCTE, 2013, p. 1).

This is an information resource site for the SUNY Cortland Teacher Education Community as we transition to the New York edTPA requirements.
