Educative Teacher Performance Assessment (edTPA) Practice Test 2026 – All-in-One Guide to Achieve Your Certification Success!

Task 3 centers on using evidence of student learning to see how students are advancing toward your learning goals and to decide what to do next in instruction. It requires collecting and analyzing assessment data, interpreting what it shows about each student’s growth, reflecting on how your teaching contributed to that growth, and planning the next steps to support continued progress. This focus on evidence-based analysis and planning distinguishes Task 3 from broader concerns like school-wide curriculum decisions or budgets, and from measures of teacher performance tied to classroom management. Video evidence can be helpful in other parts of the process, but Task 3 specifically emphasizes assessment results and the subsequent instructional planning they drive.
