Who's Assessing the Assessment? The Cautionary Tale of the edTPA
Gitomer, Drew H.; Martínez, José Felipe; Battey, Dan
Phi Delta Kappan, v102 n6 p38-43 Mar 2021
In 2019, Drew H. Gitomer, Dan Battey, and José Felipe Martínez published a paper detailing apparent violations of fundamental principles and norms in the reporting of technical information about the edTPA, a widely used high-stakes assessment for teacher licensure. In this article, they describe and criticize the lack of appropriate response to these concerns by state and professional institutions. Without such institutions providing guardrails to ensure professionally ethical practices, protections are compromised for those most directly affected by assessments. This is a story about edTPA but has implications for assessment more broadly. [For the 2019 article, "Assessing the Assessment: Evidence of Reliability and Validity in the edTPA," see EJ1284041.]
