Shrinking an already decreasing pool: Potential implications of edTPA implementation
Abstract
The purpose of this case study policy analysis was to explore what the hiring implications may be for school districts in one state if edTPA, a national preservice teacher performance assessment, were fully implemented at the state level as a licensure requirement. This study examined hiring challenges and perceptions regarding this potential policy. edTPA may be beneficial to the state by measuring the pedagogical knowledge of teacher candidates, but it could ultimately harm the state by shrinking an already small pool of potential teachers, especially in rural districts.
