Nearly 20 states use the edTPA performance assessment system to determine if pre-service teachers are ready for the classroom.

A new study led by Rutgers University’s Drew Gitomer and UCLA’s Jose Felipe Martinez now raises questions about the reliability and validity of edTPA measurements.

Gitomer and Martinez join CPRE Knowledge Hub managing editor Keith Heumiller to discuss their findings, recently published in the American Educational Research Journal, and some important implications for performance assessment policy and future research.
