Tasks are built and submitted in a private, secure online environment only accessible by a test taker who has a user name and password. Here you can compose written commentaries, upload documents and artifacts, link artifacts to your written commentaries, upload your Task 4 video and submit your tasks.
During the course of your student teaching assignment, you should collect multiple artifacts and videos for use should you need to resubmit a task(s).
Note: See Dates and Deadlines for important dates and times.
