Candidate Instructions for edTPA™ Retake
If you have received a Score Profile for an edTPA assessment and have not passed based on
your state or program passing standard, you may retake the entire assessment or a single task
of the assessment.
How do I decide what to retake?
Consult with your faculty advisor before proceeding with a retake and discuss how retaking
edTPA will support your professional preparation to teach. As you meet with your faculty
advisor, you should always consider the performance standard required by the state or
program when making a retake plan. This will allow you to identify a retake option that allows
you as a teacher candidate to demonstrate effective teaching in your areas of weakness.
Take some time to examine your overall total score and its distance from the performance
standard, as well as patterns of scores within and across the 3 tasks (planning, instruction and
assessment) to identify any patterns of strength and weakness. This will help you and your
faculty advisor determine if a whole edTPA or single-task retake is in the your best interest as
a candidate. If your overall performance is generally strong, then a single-task retake might be
the best plan of action. However, if your overall performance is very low, or there are a
number of rubrics across tasks that show weaknesses, then a whole edTPA retake may be
required.
What are the policies guiding what I submit for a retake?

Retake when original materials may be resubmitted:
 When retaking any portion of edTPA, if the candidate is teaching the same group of
students as in the original submission, the same context information about that group
of students may be resubmitted.
 If the candidate is retaking a single task that was unscorable based on condition
codes or the entire assessment that was reported with condition codes, the retake
submission may include previously submitted materials with revisions that address
the reason for the condition code (e.g., video unplayable, missing or unreadable
artifacts).
 Retake submissions when original materials may NOT be resubmitted.
 All other submitted materials other than the Context for Learning for the same class
must reflect new artifacts and/or commentaries for planning, instructing, or
assessment for student learning, and must not have been previously submitted for
edTPA. Revised or edited versions of previously submitted materials may not be
part of the retake submission.
 Task 2 option. If the candidate has recorded additional video footage from the
original learning segment that demonstrate teaching associated with the central

focus and rubric criteria, those new clips may be submitted with a new commentary.
They must meet all Task 2 specifications for the video clips.
 Task 3 option. If the candidate can analyze class performance on a new
assessment from the original learning segment, submit new work samples from that
assessment for three focus students, and has evidence of language use, either from
the new assessment or an additional video, then the candidate can submit these
materials with a new commentary.
 Washington Candidates retaking Tasks 1, 2, and/or 3. Please note that the Student
Voice rubrics will not be scored. It is optional for Washington candidates to respond to
the Student Voice prompts for a retake. Your original Student Voice rubric scores will be
reported for retakes.
