FAQ: Recalling an edTPA Portfolio for Revision and Retransfer

Updated
Watermark Support

The article explains how to recall and revise an edTPA portfolio in Tk20 after transferring it to Pearson. Users should open Tk20 in one tab, avoid the back button, and recall the portfolio via the Portfolios tab to make changes. Revised files can be uploaded or removed before re-transferring the updated portfolio to Pearson, replacing the previous version. Finally, users must log in to Pearson to label files and submit the portfolio for official scoring.

Important Note: Please avoid using Tk20 in multiple tabs and have it open only in one tab/browser at a time. Also, refrain from using the back button, as this may cause your session to time out and your work may not be saved. To have the best experience and ensure that your data is safely stored, please use only one tab when accessing Tk20.

Recalling an edTPA Portfolio

When verifying the contents of your edTPA portfolio in the Pearson system, you may find that additional revisions are required if you have missed a piece of documentation or uploaded the incorrect file to an individual task.

Recalling a portfolio does not remove the transferred portfolio from the Pearson system. It is not an “undo” process. The “recall” process allows you to re-open a portfolio in Tk20 in order to make changes and retransfer to Pearson. When you re-transfer the portfolio to Pearson, your previously transferred portfolio is replaced with the latest version of the portfolio available in Tk20.

You may recall your portfolio in Tk20, make any necessary revisions, and re-transfer the portfolio to Pearson by completing the following steps:

  1. Navigate to the Portfolios tab within Tk20.
  2. Click the title of the portfolio you are trying to recall.
  3. Click the Recall from Pearson button

To make modifications to existing artifacts (sub-tasks) attached to your edTPA portfolio:

  1. Access your edTPA portfolio from the Portfolios tab.

Log in to the Pearson ePortfolio System and follow the submission instructions in order to have your portfolio officially scored by Pearson.
