CalAPA FAQ

The 2025–26 Version 8 CalAPA Cycle 1–3 Performance Assessment Guides have been updated to align with the Interim Actions for the Teaching Performance Assessments, proposed by the legislatively mandated RDI-TPA workgroup (see SB 1263 ) and approved by the Commission for Teacher Credentialing (CTC) at its February meeting (see Agenda Item 4A ).

Any unsubmitted CalAPA Cycle 1 registrations will be unaffected. Any unsubmitted Cycle 2 or Cycle 3 registration(s) will be withdrawn, and you will receive either a credit card or voucher refund based on your original payment. You will need to re-register for your cycle once the updated CalAPA launches on July 15, 2025.

CalAPA Cycle 1 materials will be unaffected. CalAPA Cycle 2 and Cycle 3 materials will be removed from the system and will not be available to you after July 3, 2025. You should make sure to save a copy of those materials prior to July 3, 2025. The materials will not be available to you when the ePortfolio system re-opens on July 15.

Candidates will be able to combine old (2024–25 or earlier) and new (2025–26) CalAPA cycle results to fulfill the overall APA requirement.
