Frequently Asked Questions for Candidates Using Integrated Platform Providers

Refer to Contact Us to find information for all of the integrated platform providers. If you don't find contact information for the system you are using on this page, please contact your educator preparation program's edTPA Coordinator.

Candidates may obtain edTPA handbooks and templates from their faculty adviser or edTPA Coordinator, or they can download them directly from the platform provider system they are using to build their portfolio.

In order for your portfolio to be officially scored by Pearson, you must:

• Register for the edTPA assessment on this website, www.edTPA.com.
• Transfer your portfolio from your Integrated Platform Provider System to Pearson using a valid Authorization Key.
• Log in to the Pearson ePortfolio System.
• On the Pearson ePortfolio system, open and view your transferred files and labels to confirm they transferred accurately.
• Submit your portfolio for scoring and agree to all Submission attestations.

For more information about this process, please review Completing the Assessment.

1. You must register for edTPA on this website, www.edTPA.com.
2. Immediately after registering, follow the instructions within the system to indicate that you are utilizing an integrated platform provider system.
3. The Pearson ePortfolio system will give you an Authorization Key that you will need to provide to the integrated platform provider system in order to transfer your portfolio.

For information about providing the Authorization Key to the platform provider system, please contact your educator preparation program or integrated platform provider.

An Authorization Key may only be used if you have a valid registration in the Pearson system for the portfolio that you are building. The Authorization Key may become invalid for a variety of reasons. For example, if you registered for the Elementary Literacy assessment in the Pearson System and are attempting to transfer a portfolio for Elementary Education, the Authorization Key will not be valid. Please review the error messages displayed by the system and contact Pearson Customer Support for additional assistance.

The official submission status for an edTPA assessment can only be provided by Pearson.

After you have agreed to the Submission attestations in the Pearson ePortfolio System, a confirmation box will display stating "Your portfolio has been submitted for scoring." You will need to click 'Okay' in order to close this box.

Once your portfolio has been submitted, an email confirmation will be generated and sent to the email address you indicated when creating your account on the edTPA website when you first registered.

You may also log in to the Pearson ePortfolio system to check your status.

Review the Candidate Scores page on this website for complete information regarding edTPA score release.

Your test scores are reported to you and to any educator preparation program that you indicated as a score recipient when you registered. If applicable, your scores are also reported directly to the relevant state agency responsible for educator licensure.
