We urge educators working in states that have yet to add edTPA to the list
of teacher licensure requirements to resist pressures to accept what might appear to be an inevitable change, and encourage those who, like us, work in states that have adopted the edTPA as a high - stakes assessment instrument, to lobby for its elimination as a mandated licensure requirement.
The Hawaii Teacher Standards Board (HTSB) offers three
types of teacher licensure for the state of Hawaii: Provisional License, Standard License, and Advanced License.
The PDS programs also offer the opportunity to build upon the solid foundation developed by the University
Office of Teacher Licensure and the Center for P - 20 Engagement with the public schools in a three - way collaboration that is of benefit to all.
