Additional state specific information can be found in the State edTPA Policy Overview
edTPA is aligned to state and national standards, and the Interstate Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (InTASC) and provides teacher preparation programs access to a multiple-measure assessment system. edTPA data can be used as evidence for program effectiveness for state program review and approval as well as national accreditation.
Alignments have been developed between edTPA rubrics and InTASC Model Core Teaching Standards as well as the accreditation standards for both the edTPA rubric alignment to the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) standards and edTPA rubric alignment to the Association for Advancing Quality in Educator Preparation (AAQEP) standards.
