Summer 2009 ~ Alignment of Ohio
Standards for the Teaching Profession and
intro to faculty/clinical faculty
Fall 2009 ~ Winter 2010 – webinars,

Secondary Science
Local “Smoke Test” Insights…
Candidates noted the suggested writing
amounts were a bit lofty (5-8 pgs).
Insights gained from the candidates were
positive and extensive from the tasks.
Rubric improvements noted by some
faculty.
Lessons Learned
 Suggestion – include Gifted as well as ELL as special
learners to target with assessment task.
 MCE candidates used elementary tasks for grades 4-6 and
secondary tasks for 7-9.
 Programs will need content methods faculty engaged in the
preparation process for this assessment (vs. Praxis III not
content specific).
Beyond the Oregon Trail

Jan. 2011 – Feb. 2011
• 4 Accelerated IHEs continue to pilot full
assessments
• Other IHEs begin to pilot a task
• Trainer of Trainers through Stanford Team
(2 per assessment area) ~ Accelerated IHEs
March 2011 – Dec. 2011
Feb/March ~ State scorer training
June-Aug. ~ Review data as a state group
Sept. ~ Orient faculty & candidates in
preparation for field test in all subject areas
for IHEs
Not high stakes until 2013 ~ may or may
not include all subject areas yet
Jan. 2012 – Dec. 2012
• Late Jan/Feb ~ Trainer of Trainers for
scoring (Phase II IHEs)
• Feb/March ~ state scorer training
• June – Aug. ~ Review data as a state group.
Look at policy and program implications.
• Fall 2012 ~ Full implementation for all
IHEs
Spring 2013 – Fall 2014
Spring 2013 ~ full scale data collection with program
completers
Data included in licensure decision?
Summer 2013 ~ Review/Revise per need for continuous
improvement
Fall 2013-Spring 2014 ~ Year Two full implementation.
High Stakes begins!
Summer 2014 ~ Review/Revise per need for continuous
improvement
Fall 2014 ~ Residency Assessment (Tier II) launched at
Year Three of Resident Educator Program?
Phase II Implementation
Phase II: Engaging Other IHEs:
November 10th State TPA Conference
Distribution of MOUs Post the Conference
 Distribution of Tasks to IHEs
Pilot (II) Planning or Assessing tasks – Jan-June
(“smoke test” –Part II)
Videotape Preparations (policy/implementation)
 IRB Approval Needs
TPA website development (ORC launch)
Possible Implications
Ability to have a common expectations of preservice teacher
performance assessments across districts and states
Ability to compare proficiencies among Ohio’s Teacher
Preparation Institutions through the use of metrics
(House Bill 1)
Possible follow up TPA assessment during the third year of
the Teacher Residency Program (Tier II)
 Provide a inservice feedback loop to IHEs about candidate
performance as practicing educators
