also address how pre-service teachers can best negotiate this process.

If you are teaching on Thursday evenings, consider bringing
your class and please R.S.V.P. if you plan to do so. Attendees will also
have a chance to participate in facilitated discussions after the panel.

edTPA will impact all students seeking licensure in Illinois.
