PATL Assessment
PATL Assessment
Measures the readiness and ability of teacher leader candidates to provide effective instructional leadership
The PATL assessment measures the critical leadership roles that teachers play in contributing to student and school success. The assessment measures leadership roles in six areas, called tasks, which are scored according to task-specific rubrics. Each task addresses specific standards within the Teacher Leader Model Standards (PDF).
Teachers who are currently certified and practicing teachers seeking advanced credentials are eligible to take the PATL assessment.
Scores are reported online about 6 weeks after the task deadline to test takers and educator preparation programs. If they resubmit any tasks, this report will be reissued about 4 weeks after the resubmission deadline.
There are three types of scores for the PATL assessment:
Passing scores are established at the overall cumulative score level.
The test-taker score report contains valuable information about the test taker's performance, including:
The step score feedback guides test takers to improve the quality of evidence in the step responses, addresses the level of the evidence provided in the step responses and helps test takers decide if they want to resubmit any tasks.
