Crosswalk between edTPA (2014)
and the Marzano Teacher Evaluation Model (2013)
Breaking Down the Document: The document consists of three parts:
1) An overview of the two instruments, 2) A summary chart of the crosswalk findings, and 3) A detailed match between the elements of the Marzano Teacher Evaluation Model and the edTPA rubrics and task
commentary prompts that align with those elements.
Overall Purpose: Our stakeholders often ask how edTPA might prepare candidates for evaluation models that teachers commonly encounter throughout their career. These crosswalk documents map out how specific edTPA components relate to potential future evaluation experiences. Consequently, they illustrate how edTPA fits along the continuum of teacher performance feedback that candidates are likely to receive as they progress within school systems. They also show how edTPA establishes a foundation for reflective practice that will help prepare candidates for engaging in similar activities once in the field. This Crosswalk: This crosswalk was produced to reveal the alignment between the 2013 Marzano Teacher Evaluation Model and the 2014 edTPA. As the crosswalk shows, the elements of the 2013 Marzano Teacher Evaluation Model are strongly aligned with the concepts embedded within the three tasks of edTPA (i.e., Planning, Instruction, and Assessment).

The first part, the overview, compares the two instruments according to four categories: Overall Architecture, Purpose, Evidence Collected, and Rubrics. The second part, the summary chart of the crosswalk findings, shows the titles of the 15 rubrics used by edTPA, sorted according to the three tasks (Planning, Instruction, and Assessment), and the elements of the Marzano Teacher Evaluation Model, sorted according to four categories (Classroom Strategies and Behaviors; Planning and Preparing; Reflecting on Teaching; and Collegiality and Professionalism), that match each rubric. As the chart clearly shows, there is strong alignment between the edTPA rubrics and the elements and domains of the Marzano Teacher Evaluation Model, except for the domain of Collegiality and Professionalism (and this is largely because edTPA focuses on pedagogy rather than teacher responsibilities). The third part of the document is a crosswalk that provides a detailed match between the elements of the Marzano Teacher Evaluation Model and the specific edTPA rubrics and commentary prompts that align with those elements. The elements, which describe different aspects of a teacher’s behavior, are presented in the left-‐hand column. In the middle column are the corresponding edTPA rubrics, which are presented by rubric number, title, and description of the rubric focus. In the same column, beneath each identified rubric, is the text of the task commentary prompt or prompts (e.g., Planning Commentary 1a,b & 2a) that correspond most closely both with the rubric and the Marzano element. Finally, the far right column lists the sources of evidence/artifacts required by the task in addition to the responses to the commentary prompts listed. Altogether, the analyses of the relation between edTPA rubrics and handbooks (i.e., the task commentary prompts) and the elements of the Marzano Teacher Evaluation Model demonstrate substantial alignment. edTPA handbooks, prompts and rubrics are copyright © 2014 Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University.

Overview of edTPA (2014) and the Marzano Teacher Evaluation Model (2013)
THE MARZANO TEACHER EVALUATION MODEL edTPA COMMON ARCHITECTURE OVERALL ARCHITECTURE:
THE MODEL INCLUDES FOUR DOMAINS: DOMAIN 1: CLASSROOM STRATEGIES AND BEHAVIORS DOMAIN 2: PLANNING AND PREPARING DOMAIN 3: REFLECTING ON TEACHING DOMAIN 4: COLLEGIALITY AND PROFESSIONALISM
Each Domain includes multiple elements and each element has a corresponding rubric.
THREE TASKS: 1. PLANNING 2. INSTRUCTION 3. ASSESSMENT
FIVE SCORING COMPONENTS:
1. PLANNING 2. INSTRUCTION 3. ASSESSMENT 4. ANALYZING TEACHING 5. ACADEMIC LANGUAGE
PURPOSE: USED AS A BASIS FOR TEACHER EVALUATION AND
FEEDBACK AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT-‐-‐ Web-‐based tools for gathering, aggregating, and reporting data on teacher status and growth
SUMMATIVE MULTIPLE MEASURES used to evaluate teacher performance for initial licensure
EVIDENCE COLLECTED:
Combines multiple sources of information about a teacher’s practice through the use of classroom walkthroughs, teacher observations, self-‐assessments, instructional rounds, and evaluations
Artifacts and commentaries documenting a 3-‐5 lesson (or 3-‐5 hour) subject-‐specific learning segment: lesson plans and instructional materials; assessments; student work samples with feedback; candidate-‐written commentaries on planning, instruction, assessment, academic language and analysis of teaching; and video clip(s) of teaching

RUBRICS: 60 rubrics 5 levels of proficiency (Innovating, Applying, Developing, Beginning, Not Using)
15 subject-‐specific rubrics measuring 5 components of teaching (planning, instruction, assessment, analyzing teaching, and academic language) with a five-‐level progression of performance for each rubric edTPA fields share similar constructs within the 15 rubrics. Subject-‐specific variations are not addressed in this crosswalk. Prompt and rubric numbers cited may vary by field and users should refer to subject specific handbooks for details.

Describe how your planned formal and informal assessments will provide direct evidence of students’ abilities to use content-‐ specific skills, concepts, strategies, and/or processes throughout the learning segment. b. Explain how the design or adaptation of your planned assessments allows students with specific needs to demonstrate their learning. Consider all students, including students with IEPs or 504 plans, English language learners, struggling readers, underperforming students or those with gaps in academic knowledge, and/or gifted students.

IC 5a,b 5. Analyzing Teaching Refer to examples from the clip(s) in your responses to the prompts. a. What changes would you make to your instruction—for the whole class and/or for students who need greater support or challenge—to better support student learning of the central focus (e.g., missed opportunities)? Consider the variety of learners in your class who may require different strategies/support (such as students with IEPs or 504 plans, English language learners, struggling readers, underperforming students or those with gaps in academic knowledge, and/or gifted students). b. Why do you think these changes would improve student learning?

R11 Analysis of Student Learning Candidate analyzes evidence of student learning of content-‐specific skills, concepts, strategies, and/or processes.
AC 1a,b,c 1. Analyzing Student Learning a. Identify the specific learning objectives and standards measured by the assessment you chose for analysis. b. Provide a graphic (table or chart) or narrative that summarizes student learning for your whole class. Be sure to summarize student learning for all evaluation criteria submitted.

c. Use evidence found in the three student work samples and the whole class summary to analyze the patterns of learning for the whole class and differences for groups or individual learners relative to content-‐ specific skills, concepts, strategies, and/or processes. Consider what students understand and do well, and where they continue to struggle (e.g., preconceptions, common errors, common struggles, confusions, and/or need for greater challenge).
R15 Using Assessment to Inform Instruction Candidate uses the analysis of what students know and are able to do to plan next steps in instruction.
AC 4a 4. Using Assessment to Inform Instruction a. Based on your analysis of student learning, describe next steps for instruction to impact student learning for the whole class and for the three focus students and other individuals/groups with specific needs. Consider the variety of learners in your class who may require different strategies/support (e.g., students with IEPs or 504 plans, English language learners, struggling readers, underperforming students or those with gaps in academic knowledge, and/or gifted students).
