Lesson Design, Implementation, and Reflection after Instruction
(includes a classroom observation component) |
- You will demonstrate your ability to design a lesson based on state-adopted academic content standards for students, implement that lesson making appropriate use of class time and instructional resources, meet the differing needs of individuals within the class, manage instruction and student interaction, assess student learning, and analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the lesson.
- You will demonstrate your ability to make lesson adaptations for two focus students.
- You will demonstrate your ability to analyze evidence of student learning and reflect upon instruction.
- You will submit your completed response, a videotape of the lesson you taught, instructional artifacts, and samples of student work. Look at the Culminating Teaching Expectations Task (see below) directions in advance. The videotaping information can help you prepare, practice, and become familiar and comfortable with the process.

| Overview |
| |
| The California Teaching Performance Assessment (CA TPA) tasks are designed to measure aspects of the TPE's and to reflect what beginning teachers should know and be able to do before receiving a Preliminary Credential. The CCTC, ETS, and professional teacher educators from California teacher preparation programs designed and tested a pilot and a field review version of the four performance tasks to ensure that the final CA TPA tasks are fair and equitable for all preliminary credential candidates. There are four inter-related yet separate tasks that increase in complexity as you move through them. They were designed with a specific sequence in mind. As the tasks increase in complexity, there are more choices and decisions to make about how to respond to the prompts. Each performance task measures aspects of a number of TPE's, and many TPE's are measured in more than one task. |
