The edTPA is a proprietary test, and must be used as designed, without modification. Discrete edTPA rubrics cannot be used or modified.
As with portfolio assessments, programs may use one of the edTPA “tasks” and the scores for it as an assessment or the entire edTPA but not both. For example, programs may use all of Task 1, Planning for Instruction, and the associated data, OR the entire edTPA, but may not use both the full edTPA and a discrete “task” nor can the “tasks” be individually used to constitute more than one of the programmatic assessments included in the program submission.
Given that when the edTPA if required for program completion or licensure/certification it is a high stakes test it may not provide as meaningful or usable candidate performance data as other programmatic assessments can be designed to generate.
