Evaluation of your practicum experience and satisfactory completion of the assignments will be made by your cooperating teacher and the University Supervisor. Oregon uses two formal field placement assessment tools, a FEET Assessment and the edTPA Portfolio assessment. These assessments will be used during practicum term and student teaching term.

  1. Framework for Effective & Equitable Teaching (FEET) Assessment: The supervisor evaluates professional behaviors and dispositions twice per term via the FEET evaluation tool.
  1. edTPA Portfolio: edTPA™ is a summative assessment of student teaching that requires teacher candidates to demonstrate they have the skills to help all students learn. The Oregon Teacher Standards and Practices Commission (TSPC) has adopted the edTPA as the exiting assessment for all teacher candidates receiving an Oregon teaching license.

The EDST seminar courses will cover the edTPA training and assessment process. Note: The official edTPA registration submission for assessment for scoring is $300. This payment will be included in your course fee for the winter term seminar course.
