In addition to our completers’ demonstrated ability to pass their various licensure exams, Purdue’s College of Education also requires a variety of measures of initial licensure educator preparation prior to graduation, aligned to the InTASC Model Core Teaching Standards. These assessments of planning, teaching, and assessment demonstrate that our completers are prepared educators with appropriate dispositions and sensitivity to the needs of diverse learners.

edTPA® is a performance-based, subject specific assessment used by teacher preparation programs across the United States. Candidates prepare a portfolio of lesson plans, teaching videos and assessments, along with written reflection and commentary about their experiences. The portfolio is evaluated externally and reports provide national comparative performance data. The performance of Purdue candidates mirrors their peers across the United States in skills associated with planning, teaching and assessment.
