According to NYSED requirements, all candidates seeking INITIAL teacher certification must complete a Teacher Performance Assessment. This includes all student teachers AND candidates who may be teaching full-time on a temporary Internship Certificate but are not yet INITIALLY certified. The L-TPP is a multi-measure assessment where candidates demonstrate the pedagogical knowledge and skills identified in the New York State Teaching Standards and the New York State Culturally Responsive-Sustaining Education Framework, as well as content area standards for the grade band and specialization area.

At Lehman College we have created the L-TPP (Lehman Teacher Performance Portfolio) as our teacher performance assessment. The components of the L-TPP will be shared with candidate by their Student Teaching Seminar Instructor. Candidates will also receive a Student Guide in their seminar course to help them with completing the assessment activities.

• There are different versions of the L-TPP, based on the area of certification – Early Childhood Education, Childhood Education, Adolescent Education, Special Education, TESOL, Music and Art Education.
• Candidates will complete the L-TPP during your time student teaching/teaching in a classroom, combined with Lehman coursework towards NYSED teacher certification.
• Candidates will upload each component of the L-TPP into their Taskstream account when it is completed, and it will be scored by your Seminar Instructor using a 3-point rubric.
• Candidates must successfully complete all parts of the L-TPP to be recommended for NYS certification.
• All questions about the L-TPP should be directed to your Seminar Instructor.
