The UED makes program completion requirements available to all teacher candidates through our program pages in the online University catalog, through their DARS, and through the UTP Student Handbook. Additionally, during the Student Teaching Kick-off (or Orientation Night), student teachers are provided a folder with materials to support them including information on the edTPA among others.
