How is edTPA evidence typically submitted?

• A. Electronically via the portfolio management system
• B. Printed and mailed
• C. Hand-delivered to the department
• D. Posted publicly online

Answer: (A)

edTPA evidence is submitted electronically through the portfolio management system. This setup is designed to securely host a teacher’s artifacts—like lesson plans, video of instruction, Student Learning Objectives, and reflective writing—in one accessible place for scoring. Submitting digitally streamlines the process, preserves privacy, and provides the necessary structure for evaluators to review and align artifacts with the rubrics. Printing and mailing, hand-delivery, or posting publicly online would introduce delays, risk of loss or exposure of student information, and are not how edTPA submissions are handled.
