National edTPA Implementation Conference
Celebrating 10 years of Teacher Performance Assessment
November 3-5, 2017
Call for Proposals
The 10th annual Teacher Performance Assessment Conference organized by the Stanford Center for Assessment, Learning and Equity (SCALE) will be held November 3-5, 2017, at the San Jose Hilton and Convention Center. The Program Committee welcomes proposals from implementers of edTPA, the P-12 community and individuals involved in supporting teachers and teacher candidates. The final deadline for submitting proposals is August 26, 2017.
We seek proposals for “interactive sessions” that will engage attendees in discussions and activities related to Teacher Performance Assessment. “Interactive sessions” integrate presentation with active engagement of the audience. Our goal is to create a conference agenda that will allow presenters and attendees to share and develop practices, perspectives, and research through interaction. Although the committee understands the limitations of conference style seating arrangements, we encourage proposals that encourage intentional audience participation. We request proposals designed for specific strands (listed below) and will also consider submissions on other topics that provide insight into the implementation process and/or the impact of teacher education policy. Space is limited at the conference so not every submission will not be accepted, but all proposals will be evaluated through a peer-review for inclusion in the conference.
If you are interested in submitting a proposal, please prepare the following information:
- Contact information
- Session Title
- Strand associated with your session (see strands listed below)
- 200 word abstract describing the purpose and activities included in your session
- Describe how your session will be interactive and engage attendees
- List 2-3 central goals or questions that will be the focus of your session
Session strand options:
- P-12 Partnerships and Engagement/Induction
- Using Data for Program Renewal/Local Evaluation
- Academic Language
- Research on edTPA/Predictive and Consequential Validity
- Candidate Support and Feedback
- State Policy
- Special Education
