Abstract

As more and more states adopt edTPA as a professional portfolio for teacher licensure, more and more teacher candidates face the challenge of completing edTPA often with little guidance or support. The purpose of this chapter is to describe a specific strategy, called the edPASR Strategy, for supporting teacher candidates through the edTPA process. The chapter shares how the edPASR Strategy emerged from the need to develop a heuristic method that would help teacher candidates successfully navigate and complete the edTPA Portfolio. The chapter examines edTPA related program data from a sample of 263 elementary education teacher candidates (n=263) from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, which is located in the Southeast region of the United States. The chapter reports on the improvement over time in the participants' mean scores on the edTPA Tasks. One reason for the improvement is providing systematic guidance for the teacher candidates through the edPASR Strategy, which stands for: ed- Educate yourself; P- Practice, AS – Assess Self, and R – Review.
