Spring 2009 ~ Introduction to PACT/TPASummer 2009 ~ Alignment of Ohio Standards for the Teaching Profession and intro to faculty/clinical facultyFall 2009 ~ Winter 2010 – webinars, meetings, and prep for spring pilot

Pioneers and the Smoke Test Sampling the Spring Cuisine…

Appetizers included:– Elementary Literacy– Elementary Mathematics– Secondary Mathematics– Secondary English/Language Arts– Secondary Science

Local “Smoke Test” Insights…

Candidates noted the suggested writing amounts were a bit lofty (5-8 pgs).

Insights gained from the candidates were positive and extensive from the tasks.

Rubric improvements noted by some faculty.

Lessons Learned Suggestion – include Gifted as well as ELL as special

learners to target with assessment task.

MCE candidates used elementary tasks for grades 4-6 and secondary tasks for 7-9.

Programs will need content methods faculty engaged in the preparation process for this assessment (vs. Praxis III not content specific).

Beyond the Oregon Trail

Jan. 2011 – Feb. 2011

• 4 Accelerated IHEs continue to pilot full assessments

• Other IHEs begin to pilot a task

• Trainer of Trainers through Stanford Team (2 per assessment area) ~ Accelerated IHEs

March 2011 – Dec. 2011

Feb/March ~ State scorer trainingJune-Aug. ~ Review data as a state groupSept. ~ Orient faculty & candidates in preparation for field test in all subject areas for IHEsNot high stakes until 2013 ~ may or may not include all subject areas yet

Jan. 2012 – Dec. 2012

• Late Jan/Feb ~ Trainer of Trainers for scoring (Phase II IHEs)

• Feb/March ~ state scorer training• June – Aug. ~ Review data as a state group.

Look at policy and program implications.• Fall 2012 ~ Full implementation for all

IHEs

Spring 2013 – Fall 2014

Spring 2013 ~ full scale data collection with program completers Data included in licensure decision?Summer 2013 ~ Review/Revise per need for continuous improvementFall 2013-Spring 2014 ~ Year Two full implementation. High Stakes begins!Summer 2014 ~ Review/Revise per need for continuous improvementFall 2014 ~ Residency Assessment (Tier II) launched at Year Three of Resident Educator Program?

Phase II ImplementationPhase II: Engaging Other IHEs:

November 10th State TPA ConferenceDistribution of MOUs Post the Conference Distribution of Tasks to IHEsPilot (II) Planning or Assessing tasks – Jan-June

(“smoke test” –Part II)

Videotape Preparations (policy/implementation)

IRB Approval Needs

TPA website development (ORC launch)

Possible ImplicationsAbility to have a common expectations of preservice teacher performance assessments across districts and states

Ability to compare proficiencies among Ohio’s Teacher Preparation Institutions through the use of metrics (House Bill 1)

Possible follow up TPA assessment during the third year of the Teacher Residency Program (Tier II)

Provide a inservice feedback loop to IHEs about candidate performance as practicing educators
