For the first year of operation, the Commission has approved a compensatory scoring model identical to the one adopted for the pilot study and field test. Candidates will need to complete each cycle with an expected performance level of at least "2" across all rubrics and no more than one rubric with a score of "1" on each cycle. Candidates who do not meet this expected performance level on both of the Instructional Cycles in the 2018–2019 operational administration may receive coaching and support and retake the appropriate CalTPA Instructional Cycle(s). A Standard Setting Study will be conducted in spring 2019 to establish Cycle-specific passing standards for Commission approval in summer 2019 (see the
August 2018 Commission Item 2C ).
