• Teachers will have access to edTPA support materials and an edTPA coach.
• Coaches will guide candidates through the edTPA process, giving individualized feedback within the acceptable guidelines set forth by Stanford.
  • For example, the coach will ask guiding questions to support teacher understanding but will NOT tell teachers how to revise their responses.
• Coaches will give specific, explicit feedback on practice activities that are not part of the teacher’s actual edTPA submission.
  • For example, practice writing a central focus or a commentary response.
• Coaches will be available to answer questions regarding the edTPA support materials via email or virtual office hours.
• Enrollment in this course does NOT include a field placement. Students should either:
  • be employed in a school
  • if affiliated with another institution, students should complete this course during their student teaching experience, the placement for which is the responsibility of their IHE.

• If a teacher successfully completes all requirements of the courses in packages 2-5 and does not meet the required cut score, the edTPA coach will schedule an individual consultation to review the teacher’s submission and help craft a plan for re-take. (The coach is NOT responsible for providing further support unless the teacher enrolls in another edTPA support package.)
