Understanding the EdTPA Assessment Rubrics

The EdTPA rubrics assess your teaching effectiveness across several key areas: planning, instruction, and assessment. Each rubric focuses on specific aspects of teaching, such as:

• Planning for instruction and assessment: How well you design lessons and assessments to meet learning goals.
• Instructing and engaging students: Your ability to deliver instruction effectively and engage students in the learning process.
• Assessing student learning: How well you use assessments to monitor and evaluate student progress.

Familiarizing yourself with these rubrics and incorporating them into every step of your project ensures that your work aligns with the expectations for the EdTPA.

These guidelines help ensure that you are well-prepared for your EdTPA Education Capstone Project, from planning and preparing lessons to submitting your final portfolio. By staying organized, reflective, and aligned with the rubrics, you can complete your EdTPA project successfully and demonstrate your readiness to be a professional educator.
