We have designed the Teacher Assessment of Performance and Practice System (TAPPS) to serve four primary purposes.
Address the knowledge and skill requirements of Washington State’s Standard V
Ensure curriculum alignment and instruction with learning outcomes and objectives through the use of feedback loops
Allow teacher candidates to demonstrate and reflect upon their own learning in relation to Standard V and that of their students in P-12 classrooms
Produce knowledge that may help in answering: “what makes an effective teacher?” and “how should teacher preparation programs support the development of effective teachers?”
TAPPS is housed in a secure web-based portfolio, assessment and data analysis program run by Chalk & Wire.
On this page, you will find resources to help you understand our assessment system.
