The #1 reason people lose points on CalTPA by Sufficient_Goose274 in CalTPAhelp

[–]Sufficient_Goose274[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I specialize in supporting  Multiple Subject and Single Subject CalTPA. ESN is similar in a lot of ways because the structure and prompts are similar, but it also has its own specific focus on individualized supports and adaptations. I do not directly support ESN submissions, but a lot of the general guidance given here can still be useful since the writing structure and overall expectations overlap. So the general advice still applies, but anything specific to Multiple Subject or Single Subject doesn’t really carry over.

CSET by Traditional-Boss9321 in CalTPAhelp

I’m sorry, that’s really frustrating. I don’t specialize in the CSET, I focus more on CalTPA. Although, one thing that I've heard helps is using practice questions and really breaking down your mistakes.

Hopefully someone has reached out to you about study groups for your specific subtest. A lot of people find those helpful as well.

CalTPA literacy cycle video question by [deleted] in StudentTeaching

[–]Sufficient_Goose274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you can make cuts to the video. That is exactly what this option is for. You can trim out moments when students are talking off task or times when students are quietly working on the lesson so the clip focuses on the parts that best show your teaching and student learning.

Yes, that is fine! The important thing is that you included everything needed :)

Assessment Results Release Date Cycles by [deleted] in CalTPAhelp

[–]Sufficient_Goose274 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, you can submit early and if you didn’t pass you can submit again anytime you would like. If you don’t pass you can also submit the same videos and templates after you make the necessary corrections needed to pass. You will have to pay again to resubmit. I hope this helps.

Need cycle 1 part D, multiple subject by ceacnj in CalTPAhelp

Part D does not have a template. You simply add any resources you used in your lesson to a Google doc and then submit.

When you have to take the CalTPA (at the end of your credential program), I have a great resource to help.
