Purpose:

“edTPA is a performance-based, subject-specific assessment and support system used byteacher preparation programs throughout the United States to emphasize, measure, and support the skills and knowledge that all teachers need from Day 1 in theclassroom.”

As part of the teacher preparation program at Liberty University, the School of Education desires that our licensure students build a strong understanding of research-based practices for use in the classroom. Many states across the US require students to complete and submit an edTPA portfolio as part of their licensure program. EdTPA programs focus on three main tasks:

•             Task 1: PLANNING. Planning for Instruction andAssessment
