Frequently Asked Questions

All teacher candidates participating in the edTPA pilot are eligible for an edTPA reimbursement after meeting the criteria: 

  • Completing a scorable portfolio
  • No more than one condition code on a score report

After reimbursement requests have been processed, eligible candidates should receive their reimbursement in 4-6 weeks. 

Clinical teaching candidates should expect to receive reimbursements via mail and the address used to register their Pearson account. 

Intern candidates/candidates employed by a district should expect to receive reimbursements via their respective school districts. 

Districts will receive reimbursements and stipends for teacher candidates and mentor/cooperating teachers as a lump sum on a rolling monthly basis. These funds should be given to the candidates and teachers identified by participating pilot EPPs each moth.
