CURR 203 TPA 3 (MS) Assessing Learning

Candidates begin to formulate an outline as they begin to develop their portfolio for the Teacher Performance Assessment (TPA). Candidates will consider content standards and begin to plan effective instructional strategies for assessment of student learning as well as teacher practice. Candidates learn to use a variety of informal and formal, as well as formative and summative, assessments at varying levels of cognitive demand to determine students' progress and plan instruction. Candidates learn the purposes and uses of different types of diagnostic instruments, including entry level, progress-monitoring and summative assessments. They use multiple measures, including information for families, to assess student knowledge, skills, and behaviors. Candidates review benchmarks (edTPA Tasks) in order to understand expectations for the assessment.
