As the teacher shortage crisis continues, we can help simplify your new hire process. The content is organized into five manageable modules that teachers can easily comprehend, allowing for meaningful discussions between principals and educators. Once teachers have completed this course, they will have the knowledge and confidence to help positively impact students’ learning outcomes, as well as their own performance and professional growth. The T-TESS Teacher Orientation is excellent for new and late hires.

It is great course that helps teachers understand evaluation.
Tralonda – DENTON ISD (verified owner) –
It is really beneficial for First Year Teachers.
Samantha – ROYSE CITY ISD (verified owner) –
I do not feel that this was as in depth as I would like for an intro to the system. I think there could have been more real-world examples to solidify a foundation moving forward.
Jessica – ANNA ISD (verified owner) –
It was very easy to use and navigate.
Karen – ROYSE CITY ISD (verified owner) –
I really love this course and learned a lot of things that will help me be a very proficient educator.
Karson – WAXAHACHIE ISD (verified owner) –
This course was very well put together and easy to understand and work through the activities.
Amy – DENTON ISD (verified owner) –
Great! Clear and concise.
Amanda – PASADENA ISD (verified owner) –
I like how quick-paced this course was. I felt like it was clear and relatively concise. I do wish I would have been told which dimensions to focus on before watching the 4th grade observation. It would have helped with my note-taking.
Adriana – DENTON ISD (verified owner) –
Set clear expectations about the process.
Victoria – HUNTSVILLE ISD (verified owner) –
This course is VERY VERY Helpful!!!!
Carlos – DENTON ISD (verified owner) –
Great Course
Ashton – REDWATER ISD (verified owner) –
This course was quick and concise.
William – DENTON ISD (verified owner) –
The course works well because of the appropriately timed questions to information ratio. 4 out of 5 Stars because some answers would need to be repeated/not saved.
Ali – DENTON ISD (verified owner) –
Content is fair. Doesn’t ever say how to write your goals nor what are some examples you might want to focus on. Many 1st year teachers and teachers whose previous schools skipped this training need to understand more about what types of things teachers are evaluated on, not just what level their proficiency is.
Alexandra – KERRVILLE ISD (verified owner) –
This course was helpful.
David – EAGLE MT-SAGINAW ISD (verified owner) –

Kenzi – WHITEWRIGHT ISD (verified owner) –
very beneficial and helpful in understanding the process.

Daisy – ODEM-EDROY ISD (verified owner) –
Good course would like to see more videos since I am a visual learner.
Sophia – DENTON ISD (verified owner) –
The course itself was relatively clear, however the modules were not user friendly. Having the user open multiple tabs at a time and hit refresh every time you completed a module could have been made easier. The module over the rubric was also a bit unclear, as the instructions for how to break down the dimensions was very fast and confusing.
Ursela – BEAUMONT ISD (verified owner) –
I which that it was a multiple choice answer.
Hunter – WAXAHACHIE ISD (verified owner) –
This course is very educational and it breaks down T-tess in a great positive way.

It is very useful information, especially the teacher who was being evaluated.

This course was very beneficial in learning about TTESS.

It’s very informative.

This breaks down SLO goals which was really helpful.
Stephanie – NEW BRAUNFELS ISD (verified owner) –
This course was very helpful in not only explaining each domain of T-TESS, but also demonstrating how it should look. Although I know I still have much to learn, I do feel I know much more about what a proficient teacher and lesson should look like.
james – HUNTSVILLE ISD (verified owner) –
For the amount of material that the t-tess covers this class is simply a way to focus on the key points and goals. Without taking too much personal time to complete or hours of trying to understand it alone.
Mikaela – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –
I believe this is a well-rounded course. Personally, I would have appreciated the ability to speed up the videos since I am used to watching instructional videos at 1.5x speed.
