edTPA for Connecticut

Effective September 1, 2019, a passing score will be required for initial licensure teacher candidates completing SBE-approved preparation programs. The initial edTPA passing scores are shown below for all certification areas. Each Connecticut cut score represents one Standard Error of Measurement (SEM) below the national recommended professional performance standard. The Connecticut Department of Education will monitor implementation of edTPA and review candidate performance data annually to determine if adjustments to cut scores are warranted in the future.
