Task One: Planning and Academic Language

edTPA

Planning consists of building content understanding, supporting learning needs, using knowledge of students, and assessments to monitor student learning.

 

 

Three Parts to Task One

Start by learning as much as possible about your school and the students in your class. You will use this information to fill out your Context for Learning template. 

 

 

2. Use your knowledge of your school, class, and students and co-plan with your partnership teacher to identify your central focus and write your lesson plans (the 3-5 plan learning segment). 

***CLICK HERE for a video on lesson plan templates for edTPA. Use the Canvas edTPA Support Course or ask your supervisor if you have any questions.

 

 

Reflect on your plans using the Planning Commentary template. Remember that this is your PLANNING for your intended teaching, so all responses should be written in the future tense, addressing what you will do in your instruction of this learning segment.

***Make sure you are using the Task One Written Commentary Template downloaded from TaskStream.
