Map of the states participating in edTPA in 2020

Stanford Center for Assessment, Learning, and Equity (SCALE) is the sole developer of edTPA, and Stanford University is the exclusive owner of edTPA. The University has a licensing agreement with the Evaluation Systems group of Pearson to provide operational support for the national administration of edTPA.

Policy in Place. In general, these states have statewide policies in place requiring a state-approved performance assessment as part of program completion or for state licensure and/or state program accreditation/review.

Candidate Performance

Overall Scores

the score distribution of 36,063 edTPA portfolios, in fields scored based on 15 rubrics and submitted January 1 to December 31, 2020. This represents the distribution of final scores on all complete portfolios scored on five separate rubrics within each of the three major edTPA tasks: planning, instruction, and assessment. There are five levels of possible performance for each rubric, with level 3 characterizing "ready to teach" and a total score range from 15 to 75. This figure shows that scores are approximately normally distributed across this range.

Summary descriptive statistics and distributions for each task and rubric for the 36,063 edTPA portfolios, in fields scored based on 15 rubrics and submitted January 1 to December 31, 2020, are presented in the following table, including Mean, Standard Deviation, Standard Error of the Mean, and Minimum/Maximum score obtained. *
