You will participate in a 5-minute edTPA mini-clipping video teaching a component of your lesson.

B. edTPA mini - Instruction & Assessment Commentaries
You will complete the edTPA Instruction commentary based on the instructional video clip that you recorded. This IS a research-based assignment so you need to make sure that you are utilizing practitioner terminology gained in the Fall (Pre-Residency I) and this semester (Pre-Residency II).
Make sure you incorporate any background and/or supporting research in your answers---cited appropriately in APA format.
