Conference Presentation: Does Actual Teaching Mirror the Task 4 Requirement of the edTPA Assessment? How aligned to actual teaching is the edTPA assessment?

In this presentation, a teacher candidate, Samantha Hoggard, described the teaching task assigned to her by her cooperating teacher. She was asked to “grade” math fact fluency tests for several weeks. As she methodically scrutinized the data, Samantha unknowingly mimicked many of the Task 4 requirements of the edTPA assessment. This presentation will highlight the connections between real teaching and Task 4, uncovered by Samantha.
