The edTPA Teacher Performance Assessment was implemented at a regional public university to replace the previous paper-and-pencil assessment of teacher candidates' teaching effectiveness. To determine the teacher educators' impressions of using the edTPA as an assessment of readiness to teach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 17 full-time teacher educators from 11 content areas. Findings consisted of a wide range of responses to the edTPA,from deep edTPA integration to a surface level implementation of the assessment tool. Both positive and negative impressions were found during edTPA implementation in regard to the advantages and disadvantages of the edTPA instrument.
