edTPA

Senate Bill 1209 (effective January 1, 2007), requires all Single Subject and Multiple Subject candidates to pass a Teacher Performance Assessment prior to being recommended for a California Teaching Credential. 91短视频 administers the edTPA to meet this mandate.

CSUEB teacher candidates submit the edTPA during their final semester in the program. This performance assessment entails planning a learning segment of about one week (3-5 lessons), including learning objectives for both the curriculum content and the development of academic language related to that content. For general information on edTPA, . 

The edTPA is subject-specific and submitted through the Pearson ePortfolio system. Single subject candidates complete the edTPA in their subject area. Multiple subject candidates complete the edTPA Elementary Literacy with Math Task 4. Please select CSU East Bay for every submission so that we receive your score report. Refer to for additional information. 

The CSUEB Teacher Education Department provides a great deal of support to prepare candidates for success on edTPA. During the Student Teaching Seminar, candidates will be oriented and given explicit instruction for completing the edTPA. Courses include assignments designed by faculty to prepare candidates for edTPA. 

Information including subject-specific rubrics and candidate handbooks will be available through coursework. You can also find additional candidate support materials by visiting the .

edTPA Secondary Passing Standards

The Commission approved allowing preparation programs to use a secondary passing standard for candidates whose score was within a few points of the adopted CalTPA or edTPA passing standards. In establishing secondary passing standards for these two performance assessment models, the Commission relied on the provisions of Education Code section 44320.2(e)(2). .


Interns and edTPA 

For an intern credential to remain valid, the intern must be continuously enrolled in fieldwork at CSUEB and still be teaching at the same school site as the prior year. The intern credential is directly connected to the employing school site and the university. 

An intern who has not earned a passing score on the edTPA may continue to work as an intern for up to one academic year. To do so, the intern must be enrolled in the required fieldwork course throughout the year or until they apply for their preliminary credential. As part of this course, the intern will be assigned a University Supervisor, complete 6 observations per semester, and track their hours via Time2Track. Failure to meet these requirements will result in the cancellation of the intern credential.
