My edTPA Experience

EdTPA is all they tell you about. It's a lot of work and it's scary. I was so lucky that I had a group of people going through this with me. I would say the way to do edTPA is truly one step at a time. Trying to do more than one or two tasks in a day is exhausting. I started some of the tasks in the middle of the semester and the helped me tremendous as the final weeks of school rolled around. I think for next semester I'll start more of the tasks earlier as well. When I first began I was very confused but having two people who already taken Social Studies helped me a lot. The whole experience was overwhelming, and I'm so glad it's over for now. Even though I struggled I feel stronger as an educator and I feel as though I can do edTPA. This was great practice and I can't wait to get started on the next one.
