Intensive edTPA Retake

Catalog description

This field-based course is a supervised clinical experience in an approved instructional setting. edTPA Retake will offer teacher candidates additional opportunities to practice and refine teaching skills and for faculty and teacher candidates to engage in reflective dialogue about teacher candidate strengths, as well as areas for improvement. Additionally, edTPA Retake allows teacher candidates to continue to analyze and reflect on teaching effectiveness and apply what they have learned in their preparation programs. Note: All artifacts and commentaries included in a retake must reflect new planning, instructing and/or assessing for student learning, and must not have been previously submitted to edTPA. Revised or edited versions of previously submitted artifacts and commentaries may not be submitted with one exception: when retaking any portion of edTPA, if the teacher candidate can teach the same group of students, the same context information about that group of students may be resubmitted. (SCALE, 2013, p. 1) A faculty member will maintain close supervision of undergraduate teacher candidate during the clinical experience. NOTE: This course is non-transferable to baccalaureate programs.
