Lehman College’s Department of Middle and High School Education Teacher Performance Assessment (edTPA) lab offers academic coaching and technical support for students who are in the process of preparing to submit their edTPA. The support extends from helping students to reflect on their draft responses in each task commentary to the technical processes of registration, file formatting and final submission from Taskstream to Pearson. Coaching and technical support are conducted within the Pearson edTPA guidelines for acceptable candidate support.

An experienced faculty member will provide support for the commentaries in each task, in two of the preparation packages. In all of the packages, lab staff will support students in uploading all documents to Taskstream using the correct technical portfolio formatting. Students will also have access to scanners, video cameras and editing software to clip and compress their videos under the guidance of the helpful edTPA lab staff. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic we are delivering services remotely; support will be offered via Zoom and e-mail to accomplish the relevant tasks.

Prerequisite:

Preparation is only for students who have successfully completed student teaching and enrolled in the edTPA seminar in the Department of Middle and High School Education at Lehman College. Once support starts, it will extend over a maximum period of one month. Pre-screening is required prior to package registration.

Pre-screening:
