6. Higher Education
ED TPA is coming- new certification standards for pre-service educators
Essentially NBCT for pre-service teachers/ how they will be measured in their student teaching/students will video and assess their teaching; the papers will have to cite a body of research as well
This is an association between Pearson Publishing/NBCT / State Department of Education
We suggest there be a session at Fall Conference about ED TPA
Fine Arts/ Foreign Language Course of Study will begin being written in March 2016
