• Stanford University faculty and staff have been involved in the past 25-years in the development of performance-based assessments of teaching (including the National Board forassessments of teaching (including the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, the InTASC portfolio, and the Performance Assessment for California Teachers)
• Reflects substantive advice from teachers and teacher educators

“Cultures of Evidence”“Cultures of Evidence” Critical and collegial conversations about edTPA
adoption Inquiry and program improvement (not compliance) as
motivational orientation Strategic inclusion of faculty in examining cases of
candidate performance at regularly scheduled events Affirmation of program values and identity Deepens candidate understanding and practice
– From Peck and McDonald’s Study of PACT Implementation (2011)

What’s in it for the candidates?• An authentic, educative assessment• Charts their early professionalCharts their early professional
development progressionP th f th t h• Prepares them for the new teacher evaluation system
• Poises them for earlier application for National Board certificationNational Board certification
What’s in it for our P-12 School Partners?• Provides a sharper focus on teaching practices that
impact student learning• Candidates, as prospective hires, are practicing to
address more directly what administrators value• Minimal to no new impact on classrooms and the
work of cooperating teachers in terms of student t hiteaching
• Potentially a very positive impact in terms of i i h di i f h ff igenerating rich discussion of teacher effectiveness
