Thank you to Amanda Waller for sharing some Cal TPA resources!
"It was shared by a UC Santa Cruz teaching professor who teaches a Cal TPA course. It has been extremely useful when completing my Cal TPA cycle 1. There are also YouTube videos created by the professor that go in-depth about the Cal TPA and what the assessors are looking for." Take a look!
The CTC holds zooms every Wednesday at 4:15 where you can go in and ask questions about your Cal TPA, and get assistance directly from them. Scroll down on the page linked here to get to the zoom:)
Commissions You Tube channel with all previous recorded meetings and helps!
