Completing the Assessment

The Pearson ePortfolio system is designed specifically to support edTPA administration, from providing access to handbooks and templates through to the final submission of the candidate's portfolio.

Your educator preparation program may or may not opt to use the faculty feedback feature in the Pearson ePortfolio system.

1. Register for edTPA on this site.
2. Complete the assessment and upload your documents and video clips per the system instructions.
3. Follow system instructions to submit your portfolio for scoring.

Note: The integrated platforms are Anthology Portfolio (formerly Chalk & Wire), Digication, Edthena, Foliotek, Lessoncast, RCampus, Sibme, TORSH Talent, Watermark (Student Learning & Licensure [formerly Via], LiveText, Taskstream, Tk20), and WGU Integrated Performance Assessment.

1. Register for edTPA on this site. Immediately after you register you will be asked to indicate your portfolio system; select "Integrated Platform Provider." An authorization key will be generated and emailed to you.
2. Complete the assessment and upload your documents and video clips per the system instructions provided by your platform provider.
3. Transfer your assessment to the Pearson system, using your authorization key. Your authorization key was emailed to you and is also available in your account on this site.
4. Sign in to the Pearson ePortfolio system and review each file in your portfolio within the Pearson system.
5. Follow system instructions to submit your portfolio for scoring.

Candidates who will not be using the Pearson ePortfolio system or one of the integrated platform provider systems noted above will build their portfolio in the system used by their educator preparation program, and then upload their finished work to the Pearson system, on this site, and submit for scoring.

Refer to Contact Us to find information for all of the integrated platform providers. If you don't find contact information for the system you are using on this page, please contact your educator preparation program's edTPA Coordinator.

Candidates may obtain edTPA handbooks and templates from their faculty adviser or edTPA Coordinator, or they can download them directly from the platform provider system they are using to build their portfolio.

• If you have already registered on this website: Get your authorization key in your account.
• If you have not yet registered on this website: Register now. You will get your authorization key after you register.

An authorization key may only be used if you have a valid registration in the Pearson system for the portfolio that you are building. The authorization key may become invalid for a variety of reasons. For example, if you registered for the Middle Childhood English-Language Arts assessment in the Pearson System and are attempting to transfer a portfolio for Elementary Education: Literacy with Mathematics Task 4, the authorization key will not be valid. Please review the error messages displayed by the system and contact Pearson Customer Support for additional assistance.

The official submission status for an edTPA assessment can only be provided by Pearson.

After you have agreed to the Submission attestations in the Pearson ePortfolio System, a confirmation box will display stating "Your portfolio has been submitted for scoring." You will need to click 'Okay' in order to close this box.

Once your portfolio has been submitted, an email confirmation will be generated and sent to the email address you indicated when creating your account on the Texas Educator Certification Examination Program website when you first registered.

You may also log in to the Pearson ePortfolio system to check your status.
