Teacher Performance Assessment (edTPA™) – Release form for student participation
Dear Parent/Guardian (or Student at least 18 years of age):
I am enrolled in the teacher preparation program at the University of Illinois and am currently student teaching in your child’s
classroom. Illinois participates in edTPA™, which means that, in order to complete my student teaching assignment, I have to complete
an assessment called the Teacher Performance Assessment. This assessment includes submitting a video of me teaching a series of
lessons in the classroom and examples of student work completed. In the course of recording my teaching, your child may appear on
the video. I will gather samples of student work to submit as evidence of my teaching practice, which may include some of your child’s
work. This is not an assessment of your child’s performance. This is an assessment of my instruction, required for me to obtain a
teacher license.
No student’s name will appear on any materials that are submitted, and materials will be kept confidential at all times. The video
recordings and student work I submit will not be made public in any way. Materials I submit will be reviewed by my program at
[University], and they may also be used by test developers under secure conditions for edTPA program development and
implementation, including scorer training, and to support continued program improvement activities such as future validity and
reliability studies.
This form is a request for your consent to include both your child in the video and his or her class work. Please complete the bottom
half of this page and retain the top for your reference. If you have any questions about the use of this video or your child’s class work,
please contact my academic advisor, Gary Ochs at 217-244-5164.
Thank you for your consideration.
