What is a Taskstream template?

Taskstream requirements are organized into “templates” which provide a slot for each requirement that must be submitted and passed to move forward in your program.  Candidates use several templates throughout their program:

Checkpoint templates:   Require submission of key artifacts in licensure classes and a reflective self-analysis at 3 transition points (prior to Internship/Apprentice Teaching 1, prior to Internship/Apprentice Teaching 2, and at the end of the program)
OFS template:   Used to manage observation and evaluations of major field experiences
edTPA template:   Used to store and submit materials for edTPA (student teaching project)
Templates and key artifact lists are found on the reverse.
