I think it is a fair means of teacher evaluation intended to foster teacher growth and development.
Kristin – EAGLE MT-SAGINAW ISD (verified owner) –
I texted another teacher from my previous district (FWISD) saying how much this training would have benefitted us
Juan – BASTROP ISD (verified owner) –
I understand the rubric and how can apply to most classes, but how do you measure growth? Saying there’s always room for improvement is just the nice way of saying “you’ll never be good enough”.
Rachael – LIBERTY ISD (verified owner) –
Very informative.
Michelle – LITTLE ELM ISD (verified owner) –
This gave multiple explanations for why we have the TTESS system and allowed teachers to see the appraisers perspective which helped a lot.
Julia – CELINA ISD (verified owner) –
Easy to move from module to module, good solid information.
Melanie – EAGLE MT-SAGINAW ISD (verified owner) –
Good Refresher
Emma – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –
very informative and easy to understand!
Melody – LAKE WORTH ISD (verified owner) –
I would let it be known that before watching the video there is no need to take pages of notes on the video. It’s very misleading.
Jon – BASTROP ISD (verified owner) –
The host/narrator of the training speaks so clearly and supportively. I imagine she’s just a hired actress, but her delivery really allows you to move through each module with clarity. I also appreciate the hands-on approach of putting us in an evaluator’s shoes: having us observe a real teacher in a real classroom with real students delivering a real lesson. I give the training 4 stars instead of 5 because the final module’s section regarding SLO’s seemed to come out of nowhere. I don’t quite fully understand what it is or how it fits in with the lion’s share of the training’s focus, which was upon the classroom evaluation process from beginning to end.
Michae’lann – MOUNT VERNON ISD (verified owner) –
Very well put together, explicit information
Katie – EAGLE MT-SAGINAW ISD (verified owner) –
Informative and detailed.
Vera – LITTLE ELM ISD (verified owner) –
It is a good course to become more familiar with T-TESS. However, I am not sure what did they mean telling that SLO would help measuring the students growth.
Amanda – CORSICANA ISD (verified owner) –
It was informative and well structured.
ANGELA – PASADENA ISD (verified owner) –
Very informative
Christina – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –
It is unnecessary. The administrators going over the observations can explain what they are expecting.
Jose – BASTROP ISD (verified owner) –
Amazing
Katherine – HUDSON ISD (verified owner) –
This was done well.
Casey – MOUNT VERNON ISD (verified owner) –
It covered the basics in great detail.

I had issues with my answers being submitted and had to redo several of them. This made the experience frustrating.
Kimberly – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –
Great information
Betty – PASADENA ISD (verified owner) –
This has been the best PD about T-TESS that I have had in years. I like how I was able to do it at home and stop when needed. I could close myself in my room and not have distractions. I also liked how we read and heard other’s responses.
Claudia – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –
I would like to see a section where teachers can post questions and someone might be able to answer or even as teachers we can comment on each other’s responses.
Tammie – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –
It was a thorough overview, put the first couple of modules went very quickly, and I am still somewhat unsure how to relate the examples give to my AIM class.

Very thorough. Full of information!

I feel this course effectively explained the T-TESS process.
