Teacher Performance Assessment. The capstone project for the Clinical Residency Experience is the edTPA. This document will be uploaded to Watermark and scored by Pearson. It is the candidate’s responsibility to insure this document is complete and ready to upload by the due date. The candidate will be required to attend all edTPA support seminars. Failure to attend Residency Seminars will affect the candidate’s performance on the Teacher Performance Assessment and will affect the Candidate’s overall Residency grade ; as well as, their ability to obtain licensure. Outside Commitments Candidates in Residency II are strongly encouraged not to work outside of school. Work or family/personal commitments cannot be excuses for failing to meet the commitments of Residency II. If commitments become problematic in terms of attendance and performance, the Candidate will be given the choice of withdrawing from his/her Residency placement or making the personal adjustments necessary to give full attention to the program. Candidates with family/personal commitments should make these commitments known to the Office of Educator Preparation as early as possible. Dispositions/Professional Behaviors Candidates are expected to follow all rules and policies of the school/school system, Xxxxxxx College, and East Tennessee State University, including those pertaining to the Professional Dispositional Skills located in the Residency Handbook. Candidates should assume the role of an adult professional-in-training and behave accordingly.
