MATTC CalTPA scoring: “Pass” or “Revise and Resubmit”

Candidates who do not pass a MATTC CalTPA task should contact Dr. Melina Johnson, the TPA Lead Assessor mrjohnson@scu.edu, to schedule a resubmission meeting. The TPA Lead Assessor will work with the candidate to clarify any misunderstandings, to strengthen knowledge of the expectations for the task, and to develop recommendations for revising and resubmitting the written TPA document.

Candidates who wish to appeal their scores may submit a Request for a Score Verification to Pearson within 90 calendar days.

Candidates who do not pass on the third attempt must meet with their advisor and TPA coordinator. The student may be disqualified from the program, and may earn an F in EDU 230a, 230b/231a, 231b/ 230i Fall, 230i Winter.

TPA-related appeals should be directed to the TPA Coordinator, Melina Johnson then should progress to the Program Director, Kathy Stoehr and then the Department Chair, Pedro Hernandez-Ramos.
