The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating society of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the general welfare. Upon the authority of the charter granted to it by the Congress in 1863, the Academy has a mandate that requires it to advise the federal government on scientific and technical matters. Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone is president of the National Academy of Sciences. Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication DataThe National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding engineers. It is autonomous in its administration and in the selection of its members, sharing with the National Academy of Sciences the responsibility for advising the federal government. The National Academy of Engineering also sponsors engineering programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and research, and recognizes the superior achievements of engineers.

Assessing the Assessment: Evidence of Reliability and Validity in the edTPA

“…Importantly, this is also not standard practice in other complex teacher assessments or large-scale, high-stakes assessments of teaching. Similar programs such as NBPTS and Praxis have long reported separate information for assessments in different subjects (Educational Testing Service, 2018; National Research Council, 2008).…”

Most prominent among edTPA predecessors was the work of the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS), which administered its first assessments in 1994 and has been the subject of extensive research (National Research Council, 2008). The NBPTS portfolio assessment included a variety of performance measures such as video, written analysis of teaching and assessment practices (including student work samples), outside evaluation of teachers’ professional performance, and a written exam.…”
