Eliminate the Unnecessary and Harmful Teaching Performance Assessments

Urge Education Senate Committee to Eliminate Unnecessary Obstacles for Aspiring Teachers

The results are clear: the Teaching Performance Assessments (TPAs) are completely ineffective at preparing educators for the realities of the classroom. These unnecessary tests are also high-stakes, time-consuming, and costly and they have become harmful barriers for aspiring teachers.

New legislation will eliminate the TPAs and dramatically improve our educator recruitment and retention pipeline in California during a teacher shortage crisis.

Send a letter today to urge legislators to support Senate Bill 1263 (Newman) to Eliminate the TPAs.
