3. OVERVIEW

4. OVERVIEW
You will practice completing one small part of the edTPA, so when you do it “for real” next semester, it will be simple for you.
This is the part of the edTPA that helps the person evaluating your edTPA understand the school, classroom, and students you worked with for your edTPA

Detailed directions are on next slide and also posted on the website under Assignment tab

12. COMPLETING THE ASSIGNMENT

13. Remember
You will not be able to complete every question because you are in fieldwork, not student teaching when you spend every day in the classroom
The goal is to feel more comfortable with this one small part of the edTPA

14. Read over the first page
Just answer the questions that you can. You will leave some blank or put NA.
Remember the purpose is to give you practice so you already know this form when you are completing the edTPA
When you are in student teaching, you will be there every day—you will know more details

15. Have a discussion with your CT
You can let your CT know that you will have a few questions about some of the students who need specific supports
Aim to talk to your teacher in the third or fourth visit, so you have had some time to watch and gather your own ideas about the students
If you were late getting started in your placement or weather or holidays have delayed your placement, don’t worry. Just send your professor an with FW1 “Context for Learning” in the subject line. Let your professor know the date when you can have the assignment completed.

16. Ask your CT about needs of students
Some districts will let you look at IEPs/504s or summary information about students with special needs. Some districts will not let you do this. Either way is okay.
Just by watching students in the first few fieldwork visits, you will be able to identify some needs that you see.
