Pienso que es bastante interesante, permite que los maestros nuevos como yo podamos conocer un poco mejor la evaluación T-TESS, cómo se estructura, como se organiza y algunos de los objetivos que se piden en las aulas.
El hecho de presentar diferentes aspectos a llevar a cabo en las aulas y los diferentes niveles, permite reflexionar mucho sobre nuestra propia práctica docente, que no siempre se hace, y la cual considero que es muy importante.
Aún así no lo valoro con 5 estrellas ya que, se hace hincapié en algunos aspectos concretos pero otros no se nombran, o se nombran muy por encima. Y es que, como docentes nuevos desconocemos muchos de los mínimos que debemos cumplir, de aspectos que se nos piden o que se nos van a avaluar.
También considero que se explican los mínimos y los requisitos de evaluación, pero se explican pocas estrategias para poder llevar a cabo esos requisitos de manera exitosa.

Clarence – 588 Co-op (verified owner) –
Great course overall. Learned more about what is expected when being evaluated. enjoyed the examples shown in the videos

Overall, this course is effective. I have been teaching for 17 years and each year I am trained on T-TESS I always learn something new or gain clarity of something I was unsure about.

Charlene – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –
I think this course is proficient and rock solid.
Rachel – LITTLE ELM ISD (verified owner) –
This training is informative if you are new to TTESS or *need* a refresher. However, I do not feel that everyone *needs* the refresher. The training itself is done well, I just do not think it is a good use of time for “all” people.
Blythe – DENTON ISD (verified owner) –
None
Abbigale – DENTON ISD (verified owner) –
It did a really good job explaining everything.

Sarinah – EAGLE MT-SAGINAW ISD (verified owner) –
This is a great course to get a complete understanding of T-TESS.
Kegan – DENTON ISD (verified owner) –
I think some of the reflection questions were poorly constructed and unclear.
Ginger – LITTLE ELM ISD (verified owner) –
Although they are attempting to simplify the course, it is still long and burdensome. I know that we need to understand upon what measures we will be evaluated, but as a new hire to the district at the beginning of a very hectic new school year, it is a lot to complete.
Savannah – LITTLE ELM ISD (verified owner) –
I have never had T-TESS explained to me. As a 2 1/2 year teacher I do like it finally being broken down step by step. It also clarified or showed me topics/facts I wasn’t aware of.
Liliana – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –
I think this course is very informational as it addresses many misconceptions that as educators many times we have. It is delivered in a condensed and effective approach.
