A MULTIPLE MEASUREMENT ASSESSMENT
Content Assessments Content Assessments There are six content assessments currently being utilized nationwide:
Elementary Literacy
Elementary Math
Secondary Math
Secondary English/Lang. Arts
Secondary Science
Secondary History/Social Science
What do Candidates Do for What do Candidates Do for TPA?TPA?
A Content-Specific Teacher Work Sample that includes:
Planning Instruction and Assessment – Task 1
Instructing & Engaging Students In Learning – Task 2
Assessing Student Learning – Task 3
Retrospective Reflection – Task 4
Academic Language
Theory into Practice application
What is submitted and What is submitted and by what means?by what means?
An electronic portfolio with the three to five days of planning, instructing ( including a 15-20 minute video), assessment, and reflection
Unique IDs will be assigned to each T. candidate and calibrated scorer for each portfolio to be scored
Portfolio artifacts will be kept on an IHEs home assessment system (Chalk & Wire, Taskstream etc.) for accreditation needs AND portfolio constructed/submitted to a separate server to protect identity and to be assessed
Results returned to candidate and program end of term
How is it completed?How is it completed? During the student teaching experience in 3-5 lessons
the teacher candidate will be teaching
It includes planning, instructing, assessing, and reflecting over 3-5 consecutive lessons to be taught (such as within a unit of study)
A faculty/supervisor may assist to determine a timeline to complete the portfolio
It will then be completed electronically (like other key assessments) and scored by a trained/calibrated assessor
Task 1 Task 1 Purpose
The Planning Instruction & Assessment task asks the candidate to:
•Describe plans for the learning segment and explain how they are appropriate for the students and the content being taught;
•Demonstrate the ability to organize curriculum, instruction, and assessment to help diverse students meet standards for the content; and,
•Develop academic language related to the content.
Evidence ~ to select, adapt, or design learning tasks and materials that offer students equitable access to the content.
TPA TASK # 1: Planning Instruction
and Assessment

Evidence of Feedback Assessment Commentary
Retrospective ReflectionRetrospective Reflection
Reflection is incorporated throughout TPA
During Planning, Instruction and Assessing
There is also a culminating Retrospective Reflection (Task 4) incorporated at the end of the total TPA portfolio
Academic LanguageAcademic LanguageAcademic language is the oral and written language needed by students to understand and communicate in the academic disciplines for specific purposes and audiences.
Academic language genres include the specialized vocabulary, linguistic features, and textual resources associated with genres within a field (e.g., literary criticism, explanations of historical phenomena, lab reports). It also includes instructional language needed to participate in learning and assessment tasks.
(See Appendix A for Content-Specific Academic Language).
ScoringScoring Scoring in accelerated states should include:
Independent scoring by scorers who have not supervised the candidate
Random selection of 10-15% of portfolios submitted for double-scoring
Double scoring of any portfolio receiving more than 4 of 11 scores at rubric level “1”
The portfolio can be a requirement to be passed during student teaching (like BCI, FBI etc.) but should not be “graded” as part of the student teaching course… Passing is determined by the calibrated scorer(s) not the instructor of the student teaching course.
