Embracing the Controversy: edTPA, Corporate Influence, and the Cooptation of Teacher Education by Alison G. Dover, Brian D. Schultz, Katy Smith & Timothy J. Duggan - September 14, 2015This commentary examines recent controversies surrounding edTPA, a high-stakes, standardized teacher performance assessment (TPA), focusing on the complex relationships among TPA policy, scholarship, and profit.
