EdTPA Resubmission Process and How to Improve Your Score
If you receive feedback that your EdTPA submission did not meet the required standards or score, you can resubmit the project. Here’s how to approach the resubmission process and improve your score:
6.1 Review Feedback
Carefully review the feedback provided by your evaluator. Identify the specific areas where your submission did not meet expectations. Common feedback areas include:
- Lack of alignment with rubrics.
- Insufficient reflection or analysis.
- Gaps in lesson planning or assessment.
6.2 Address Weaknesses
After reviewing feedback, focus on addressing the identified weaknesses:
- Revise lesson plans to ensure they are more detailed and aligned with student learning goals.
- Improve the video quality by enhancing visibility or audio and ensuring that the teaching moment is clear.
- Strengthen reflection by providing more specific examples of how you adapted your teaching to support student learning.
6.3 Seek Additional Guidance
If you are unsure how to address feedback, seek guidance from your mentor, advisor, or a peer who has already passed the EdTPA. They can help you identify strategies for improving your resubmission.
6.4 Resubmit on Time
Once you’ve made the necessary revisions, resubmit your EdTPA on time. Be sure to follow the same submission process as the initial one, ensuring that all materials are complete and aligned with the rubrics.
By following these steps and strategies for submitting, reviewing, and improving your EdTPA Education Capstone Project, you can ensure a successful and thoughtful submission that demonstrates your readiness to be an effective educator.
