Hey Fellows!
Hope you all had a good summer despite the heat and
hope that those of you in Cohort 33 learned a lot and
had an enriching experience in your summer school
placements! I’d just like to share some important dates
as well as some reminders for those who are new and for
those in their final year. And please remember: don’t
hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!
Warmly,

Cohort 31–
EdTPA Resources

As a reminder for all those graduating this year,

once you graduate your Trans B will expire. So by

graduation you will want to have successfully

completed your EdTPA so that you can apply for

your initial certification. The EdTPA Handbook,

Making Good Choices, and other resources can be

found on the website here: http://

liufellows.weebly.com/edtpa.html

Additionally, please remember that your field

consultants are a great resource for assistance with

your EdTPA videos!
