Retake Support Considerations

• Needs of candidates– How much professional development needed?– How many tasks does the candidate need to retake?

• Needs of faculty– Availability?– Remittance? – Credit towards tenure/promotion?

• Available resources– Placement in K-12 schools (if needed)?– Mentor?– Money?

What task(s) should this candidate re-take and why?

Should You Design an edTPA Retake Course?

• What is your plan for candidates who need to go back into the classroom?

• How will you credit faculty for working with teacher candidates retaking the edTPA?

• How much professional development do your teacher candidates who are retaking the edTPA need?

• How will you pay for a mentor?

Considerations When Developing an edTPA Retake Course

• How many credit hours? • Cost?• Length of course? • Delivery?

Starting Activities

• Analysis of edTPA retake needs– Identification of areas of deficiency– Determine what will need to be submitted for

retake (if a single task retake)• Determine what went wrong in first submission

(Review of Low-Scoring edTPAs and Guidance for Re-takes)• Identify what proficiency looks like in those

rubrics that were low in the first submission (Understanding the Rubric Level Progressions)

Determining Your Retake Needs

Determining What Went Wrong

What Does Proficiency Look Like?

Creating Task 1

• Timeline: Weeks 2-5• Support materials:– Thinking Organizer*– Understanding the Rubric Level Progressions *– Determining What Went Wrong?– What Does Proficient Look Like?

*available at www.edTPA.aacte.org

Supplemental Reading Areas*

• Classroom Diversity• Cultural and Linguistic Differences• Connecting Standards to Instructional Planning• Teaching English Language Learners• Universal Design for Learning• Differentiated Instruction• Classroom Assessment

* Modules available at The Iris Center at www.iris.peabody.vanderbilt.edu

Key Assignments/Activities

• What Needs to be Seen in My Videos? • Learner Analysis Assignment (can substitute

Context for Learning)• Review of Sample Task 1 Commentaries• Task 1 Peer Review

What Needs to be Seen in My Videos?

Teach Learning Segment

• Weeks 6 or 7

• Make sure teacher candidate…– Videos all teaching– Gets student work samples for multiple

assessments

Creating Task 2

• Timeline: Weeks 7-9• Support materials: – Thinking Organizer*– Understanding the Rubric Level Progressions*– What Needs to Be Seen In Your Videos?– Determining What Went Wrong?– What Does Proficiency Look Like?

*available at www.edTPA.aacte.org

Key Assignment/Activities

• Completion of Video Analysis Chart• Peer Review of Task 2

Video Analysis Chart

Creating Task 3

• Timeline: Weeks 8-10• Support Materials:– Thinking Organizer*– Understanding the Rubric Level Progressions*– Determining What Went Wrong– What Does Proficiency Look Like?

• Key Class Activity: Task 3 Peer Review*available at

www.edTPA.aacte.org

Ideas for Additional Course Topics

• RtI• PBIS• Danielson Framework• Marzano Framework• Action research• Using your edTPA results for…– Developing a future professional development plan– Evidence of performance for interviews
