EdTPA

     The two materials that we read today, edTPA lesson plan guidelines and "Making Good Choices" were both extremely helpful. I am going to save both of these for when I am preparing for my own edTPA in the spring. The lesson plan guidelines are helpful in getting the edTPA filled out and help in knowing what information needs to go where. It is a document that is helpful for first timers and for people who have been doing it for awhile. I had it open on my second screen this weekend when I was writing edTPA's to keep me on track and to provide support when I needed it.
     "Making Good Choices" focused on the actual assessment of the edTPA. This document is one I am always going to reference due to how informative it is. I believe this article will help anyone trying to pass the edTPA and keep the person focused on the task. Also, the advice it gives applies to general lesson planning as well. In lesson planning it is important to not lose focus or get off task away from the lesson. This article has do's and dont's as well regarding certain sections and it is especially helpful in the assessment portion. Coupled with the different forms of assessment article we read earlier in the quarter, this should help all of us with assessment planning for the unit plan.
