Select any step to learn more about your PASL assessment journey.
For the PASL assessment, you’ll build tasks and submit task responses via your ETS account. During your clinical experience, you should collect multiple artifacts and videos in case you need to resubmit any tasks. If you didn’t receive a passing score for the assessment, you’re eligible to register to resubmit responses to Tasks 1, 2 and/or 3. See Resubmitting Your Tasks.
Review Dates and Deadlines to make sure you don’t miss any submission deadlines.
You’ll submit your task responses, artifacts, and Task 3 video through your ETS account.
For each task, you’ll submit a written response along with other types of evidence or artifacts, such as student work samples, a professional development plan, and quotes from colleagues.
For more about artifacts and how to determine the best artifacts to use as evidence, review the “Thinking About Evidence” section of the Handbook.
For instructions on how to enter your written responses and upload/attach artifacts, view the User Guide.
For Task 3, you’ll submit a video of you interacting with colleagues. It has to be one 15-minute video consisting of:
Your video segments can’t be edited. Editing in this context is defined as postproduction processing of the video itself or the use of cuts in an otherwise continuous segment. There cannot be any disruption in the video footage for the duration of each segment. Examples of editing include eliminating unwanted sections within segments, adding footage, using fade-ins and fade-outs, and adding audio-recorded material from a device other than the video recorder. In addition, video segments may not be created with two or more cameras, which would give the video recording a studio effect. If the segments within your recording appear to have been edited, the entire task will not be scored, resulting in a score of zero for Task 3.
You’ll need to get permission from anyone who appears or can be heard in your video. Use the PASL Assessment Permission Forms; district and school permission forms won’t be accepted.
For detailed information about the Task 3 video recording, guidelines, tips, and permission, view the Candidate and Educator Handbook.
View technical requirements and step-by-step instructions on how to upload your video in the User Guide.
The assessment video will be deleted from ETS systems approximately 12 months after the final scores are reported for the submission window, with the exception of videos that will be used for training purposes. If you don’t want your video to be used for training purposes, email pasl@ets.organd ETS will honor your request.
