Higher education faculty members and language teacher preparation program\u003cbr\u003e coordinators who would like to better understand edTPA requirements and gain suggestions for\u003cbr\u003e necessary programmatic changes will find this book of interest.\u003cbr\u003e The book is composed of eight chapters. The authors begin by describing edTPA and how it became a national trend to assess\u003cbr\u003e beginning teacher ability. In Chapter 2, the authors present ideas about curricular changes that may need to occur in traditional\u003cbr\u003e world language teacher education programs, as well as suggestions to assist teacher candidates as they begin to develop their\u003cbr\u003e portfolios. Afterward, the authors discuss the context for learning (Chapter 3) and they begin with assessment, moving to planning, \u003cbr\u003e and then to instruction (Chapters 4, 5, 6). In each chapter, the authors discuss the work sample that teacher candidates must create, \u003cbr\u003e an analysis of a high‐scoring portfolio, and steps to stimulate teacher candidates' professional thinking. In Chapter 7, the authors\u003cbr\u003e present activities for the methods classroom. In the final chapter, the authors provide a critical analysis of edTPA, in\u003cbr\u003e general, and the world language edTPA, in particular.\u003cbr\u003e Understanding the World Language edTPA: Research‐Based Policy and Practice provides\u003cbr\u003e readers with a much‐needed guide to inducting teacher candidates into the new portfolio\u003cbr\u003e requirements, while helping higher education faculty make appropriate curricular changes\u003cbr\u003e to accommodate edTPA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan A.
