Wow–lots of blog posts this week! I hope this is helpful, rather than a burden. I will try to keep this one short and sweet.
Registering for the edTPA
It states in the syllabus that you should register for the edTPA for next seminar. Technically, you do not have to register until you are getting closer to submitting as we
have access to all of the documents you need. If you want to wait and register later and take the time to save the money required, feel free to register later. Keep in mind that registration is $300, so start saving up.
Shared Permission Forms
I apologize for the lack in clarity about permission forms. Unfortunately, they just haven’t come up with a solid, clear understanding of what can and cannot be done. However, I heard back from our testing coordinator and it seems that if you and another student teacher (either from our cohort or another cohort) are taping the same students in the same classroom, then you can use the same permission form to stand for both of you. However, when/ if you send a letter home (such as the ones offered here on the blog), you will want to include both of your names on this form.
Please feel free to comment on this blog post with questions (they do have to be approved by me before they will show up on the blog).
