This is a “take-home exam,” which you will do and submit on your own to demonstrate your ability to plan, teach, assess and make educational decisions. One of the major requirements of this exam is to capture and post a video of your K-12 teaching to Tk20 for evaluation by New York State/Pearson?. During your student teaching placement, you will be collecting videos, with permission, in order to implement the edTPA. Even if you plan to submit the paperwork for certification in the future, you will need to capture the video during your student teaching placement. There is currently no provision to return to a placement to capture video outside of the student teaching semester.Helpful Websites/Materials/Preparation Tools:We encourage you to become familiar with the following materials: Making Good Choices: A Support Guide for edTPA Candidates: Video Consent forms for use by SUNY Oswego students found at: the edTPA Handbook Through TK20Login to TK20Click on the “Document Room” tabScroll down to the folder that says “edTPA Fall 2013”Click on the drop-down menuScroll down and click on the drop-down menu for your area of studyFrom here, you can click on the corresponding edTPA HandbookClick on “download file” to openRegistering to Submit the edTPA for Scoring:Visit the Pearson edTPA website at Go to the “Register” page, found under the “Candidates” tab along the topReview the items in the section “Before You Register”Click on the “Next” button and select “Integrated edTPA Platform Provider System”Follow the instructions and prompts to registerVerify that the assessment in the Pearson edTPA registration system is the same as the assessment you are building in TK20.
