What is TaskStream? What is TaskStream? TaskStream, an electronic folio system, is the main avenue by which teacher candidates submit assessments that are required for licensure. During the student teaching semester (or final semester in a teacher educator program) the teacher candidate must set up an account with TaskStream ($30.00 per semester). Once registered, candidates may use the system for a variety of purposes in addition to uploading the required licensure assessments. TaskStream provides several menu-driven ways to create portfolios to use for coursework, assessment, and job search. It also provides lesson planning, rubric, web page, and discussion group frameworks.
