How to Submit an EdTPA Education Capstone Project Online
Submitting your EdTPA Education Capstone Project online is a straightforward process if you follow the required steps and ensure all materials are uploaded correctly.
2.1 Access the Submission Portal
Most EdTPA submissions are made through Pearson’s EdTPA portal or the submission platform designated by your institution. To submit your project:
- Log in to the designated portal using your student credentials.
- Select the appropriate EdTPA version for your subject area or grade level (e.g., Elementary Education, Secondary Education).
2.2 Upload Required Documents
The EdTPA project consists of several parts that need to be uploaded:
- Lesson plans: Upload all lesson plans used for your EdTPA project.
- Student work samples: Include examples of student work that reflect their progress during your lessons.
- Video recording: Upload your teaching video or video segment showcasing your instruction.
- Reflective commentary: Provide detailed commentary reflecting on your teaching, student learning, and classroom management.
- Assessments: Include any formative or summative assessments used during your teaching.
Ensure that each document is clearly labeled and in the correct format (typically PDF or Word). Double-check that all sections are complete and that the video file meets the required technical specifications (e.g., file size, format, length).
2.3 Review and Submit
Before submitting, review your work to ensure everything is uploaded correctly:
- Confirm that all files are included and accessible.
- Ensure that lesson plans, assessments, and other documents are fully aligned with the rubrics.
- Double-check your video quality to ensure the footage clearly shows your teaching and student interactions.
