Tk20 Information
About Tk20
To ensure that our programs align with critical state and national standards, the School of Education uses Tk20's Campus Tools for Higher Education to monitor and assess the progress of our candidates. This tool helps address the needs of our candidates, graduates, faculty, and college through access to the following features:
- Course, program, and college-level assessments
- Standards-based, reflective, electronic portfolios
- Tracking and management of field experience, student teaching, and other clinical practice
- Data aggregation from multiple assessments for candidates and programs
- Candidate advisement, with access to records, assessments, transcripts, and program requirements
- Creation of reports for comprehensive analyses and accreditation support
- Powerful survey/collaboration tools for current candidates, graduates, and K-12 and other education partners
Multiple & Single Subject Candidates:
Candidates for the Multiple and Single Subject programs need to purchase a Tk20 Student Access Kit at the Customer Service desk in the El Corral Bookstore. This is a "one-time" purchase, with account activation good for 7 years. Instructions on how to activate your Tk20 account are provided on the Access Kit.
MS and SS courses will require you to use Tk20 for specific assignments, especially the Performance Assessment for California Teachers (PACT) Teaching Event, which all credential candidates must pass to earn a credential. Important: All PACT assignments are scored ONLY through Tk20.
With Tk20, you will be able to collect, track, and retrieve coursework with ease throughout your program in one central Web-based location. You may also develop electronic portfolios or field/clinical experience binders to assist in your career searches.
