All teacher candidates in teacher preparation program must pass a performance assessment (edTPA or PPAT) according to the State of Delaware guidelines for institutional recommendation for certification.
Due to its use in New York and other states of interest for our students, the Department of Music has decided to focus on the edTPA performance assessment, and guidance on completing this assessment will be provided to all students during the student teaching semester.
The following link provides information about the performance assessments, including how to register for the edTPA or PPAT as well as video recording resources. http://www.teachered.udel.edu/performance-assessment/
