q2 · i? · associational · r2

Subsample analysis of 2,378 student teachers, 325 residents, and 780 interns from the CTC program completer survey (2021–22 and 2022–23, excluding the California State University system) linked to TPA records; figure 2 prints initial passing rates of 88%, 83%, and 72%. No effect size or significance test is printed for this contrast.

"As shown in figure 2, residents in this subsample were more likely to pass a TPA on their first attempt than student teachers or interns."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Elementary candidates have lower TPA passing rates than secondary and special education candidates, possibly due to added assessment complexity — related
• Preservice candidates pass teaching performance assessments at higher rates than intern candidates — related
• Residency completers report more intensive clinical experiences with higher support and are more likely to pass teaching performance assessments on their first attempt — a broader claim this one bears on
