Beginning in spring 2012, all teacher candidates seeking a recommendation for licensure in the state of Minnesota must complete the TPA for their licensure area.  Click on the link below to the Handbook for your licensure area to learn more about the TPA and its opportunities for you to demonstrate during student teaching what you know and can do to engage students in learning.  During student teaching, you will be given access to a separate link for the TPA on your TaskStream Home Page where you will access various TPA submission forms and upload them along with video as you complete the TPA before student teaching is completed.  The last link is more information about the video recording aspect of the TPA.

(Elementary candidates have the choice between either the Elementary Literacy or Elementary Math TPA.)
