9. The Educative Value “If you teach the body of knowledge and skills, it will elevate candidates’ scores and elevate candidate mastery of the knowledge and skills on which the test is based.”

10. The Educative Value If you drill and practice the assessment, valid test interpretations become impossible. The score would no longer indicate what a candidate knows, understands, and is able to do.

11. Added Benefits Bridge the Gap between preparation and performance Foster partnerships Improve success with TKES Identify professional learning needs Emphasize instruction that is focused, coherent, and centered on student learning

17. Our Opportunity Candidates can use edTPA experience and data to clearly articulate their strengths and areas that could be improved. EPPs will now have more information than they have ever had before to inform their programs. School districts will now have more information for selection and support than they have ever had to inform individualized induction programs.

18. Our Opportunity Foster professional dialogue that will mutually benefit both veteran teachers and candidates. Foster enhanced partnerships between EPPs and local school systems. Prepare new teachers to provide evidence of effective teaching and student learning. Help schools identify new teachers’ professional learning needs. Emphasize instruction that is focused, coherent, reflective, and centered on student learning aligned with state goals.
