New: Texas' teacher licensing board is considering adopting a new, more rigorous certification exam. In a 2021 study, researchers found that the exam reduced the number of students graduating as teachers and had adverse effects on student learning.
with the edTPA exam as education officials called it a barrier of entry to the profession. Educator programs in the state can still require students to take the edTPA but it is not required to be certified.And in Illinois, lawmakers have made efforts to get rid of the assessment as well for all the same reasons. The edTPA in the state has been paused due to the pandemic.that the exam reduced the number of students graduating as teachers and it had adverse effects on student learning.
When Doug Hamman, professor and director of Teacher Education at Texas Tech University, Hamman first heard that edTPA was coming to Texas, he saw the same studies and he wasn’t sold. But, he knew that if the state was considering the test, his program needed to be prepared. Gina Anderson, associate dean for Educator Preparation and Partnerships at Texas Woman's University, said her program, like others around the state, already provides a performance assessment-based student-teaching experience. She thinks making the edTPA a requirement will take away from what these teaching programs are supposed to do, which is to help a student cultivate relationships and gain meaningful lessons.
In Texas, those individuals wanting to become a teacher but who did not get a degree in education, can do so in about a year through the state’s alternative certification program. But a four-year degree program gives those students an opportunity to be student teachers. In theory, the new exam could directly help with Texas’s teacher shortage issue. Gov. Greg Abbott has made solving the state’s shortage a priority andSupporters of the edTPA say it will better help support and retain new teachers as they can pinpoint exactly what the teacher lacks through the video recordings and written analyses they will provide.
