edTPA for New York State

At its April 2022 meeting, the New York State Board of Regents voted to modify the teacher performance assessment requirement for certification by eliminating the edTPA requirement for certification and, instead, requiring that New York State-registered teacher preparation programs integrate a teacher performance assessment into the candidates' student teaching, practicum, or similar clinical experience (e.g., residency, mentored in-service component).

The edTPA will no longer be a certification requirement as of April 27, 2022. Please see the announcement on the Office of Teaching Initiatives website for information about this certification change.
