great!
Sawichaya – CEDAR HILL ISD (verified owner) –
Every year during professional development- the T-TESS rubric is addressed, admin states what they are looking for. This course is informative but may be redundant and uses time that I could be using for planning lessons, refining my teaching or working in my classroom.

The timed segment was not optimal and I would have benefitted more if it was not timed.
Gonzalo – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –
As a Spanish teacher in my first year in Texas, I’d find the T-TESS course both helpful and a bit challenging. It shows me a new way of evaluating teaching that’s different from what I’m used to, which can feel overwhelming. I’d appreciate that it focuses on helping me grow as a teacher and provides support, but adjusting to the new system and cultural differences might be a bit daunting. I’d be looking for practical tips to help me use what I learn in my classroom.

Miguel – CROSBY ISD (verified owner) –
The information provided was very helpful in understanding the T-TESS. My only suggestion would be on the video of the 4th grade teacher conducting the lesson. Not all teachers teach that grade level. Maybe have a video for a specific grade level one is teacher, so that one can relate better.
