REQUEST FOR INTEREST - EXAM DEVELOPMENT FOR CA COMMISSION ON TEACHER CREDENTIALING

The California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) has issued an RFI to gather market interest and expertise for developing a new statewide Teaching Performance Assessment (TPA) model. Agencies with experience in assessment design, educator preparation, scoring, technology platforms, reporting, training, and AI‑related guidance are invited to submit an expression of interest. The response must be emailed by August 31 2026 and include organizational details, relevant experience, and a brief statement of interest. This effort aims to create a modular, technology‑driven assessment that serves eight credential areas and supports secure, calibrated scoring and robust reporting. • Core work: design of a modular TPA system, including performance‑assessment specifications, technology platform requirements, scoring rubrics, and statewide implementation plans. • Required expertise: assessment design, educator‑preparation program development, secure digital platforms, data analytics/reporting, AI integration guidance, and training for statewide rollout. • Deliverables (later phases): prototype specifications, cost models, pilot testing plans, and a full implementation pathway slated for completion by July 1 2028.
