The PPAT® Assessment Task Requirements

Aligned with InTASC Model Core Teaching Standards (PDF), the PPAT® assessment measures the instructional capability of teacher candidates before receiving a license. The assessment consists of four tasks — one formative and three summative. Each task requires written commentary and submission of artifacts. A video is required for Task 4. The tasks are described below, and a requirements document and rubric document have been provided for each. The requirements document contains the activities and guiding prompts for each task, the standards and indicators measured by each task, and detailed instructions to follow when submitting responses. The rubric document contains the four task-specific rubrics that are used to evaluate the elements of the evidence you provide. Before beginning the assessment, review the PPAT® Candidate and Educator Handbook (PDF) for information about the tasks, rubrics, writing guidelines, how to include artifacts and record video and more.

An Education Leader on Preparing Today’s Learners for an Optimistic Future

Preparing today’s generation of learners to redesign the future first requires them to imagine all they can achieve by working on and testing their capabilities, explains ETS Board of Trustees Member Dr. Earl Lewis.

  Graduate programs striving to admit the most qualified and diverse classes can do so by ensuring their admissions review processes consider insightful and trusted metrics like GRE General Test scores. Waiving the only common, objective measure in a holistic review process will inherently make the process less fair and equitable as the likelihood of implicit bias increases. Instead, admissions decision makers have an obligation in holistically reviewing applicants to consider a multitude of variables, including ones that reliably indicate an applicant’s readiness for succeeding at graduate-level work. Recently, there have been studies suggesting that not too much weight should be placed on GRE scores. The Educational Testing Service agrees with this premise, as the scores do not and cannot offer insight about all qualities that are important in predicting academic success or in confirming undergraduate achievement. Unfortunately, though, these studies have sometimes been misunders...
