Joshua – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –
The training is effective but could be slightly more concise.
Katana – NEW BRAUNFELS ISD (verified owner) –
As someone who has gone through TTESS for several years I feel like this training was not required and a shorter refresher version would have done the trick.
Julio – JUBILEE ACADEMIC CENTER (verified owner) –
reviews rubric well
Vivian – HURST-EULESS-BEDFORD ISD (verified owner) –
It was great!
Peggy – DENTON ISD (verified owner) –
The course did a good job of teaching the rubric.
Claudia – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –
I think is an eye opener about how to prepare the lessons and how to grow as a teacher.
Erica – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –
I think this course is great but it will be better if we have a in person training.
Cortney – GARLAND ISD (verified owner) –
It enjoyed the course although the lesson video was a little on the long side without having the ability to ask questions or have a meeting beforehand.
Cynthia – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –
It was very long and lots of information.
Amy – CELINA ISD (verified owner) –
Very helpful!
DARCY – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –
Clearly laid out, informative and focused. However, very lengthy.
Deanna – DENTON ISD (verified owner) –
This was a very meaningful course that was presented in a pleasant way. Although there was a “notes” feature, I do wish it had closed captioning.
Karen – HUNTSVILLE ISD (verified owner) –
Alright
Brandy – DENTON ISD (verified owner) –
I thought it was informative and helpful.
Dusty – BEAUMONT ISD (verified owner) –
This course was informative and focused on personal growth over the course of a school year, instead of one single event.
Steven – DUNCANVILLE ISD (verified owner) –
Great course to help teachers get better faster
Anthony – HUNTSVILLE ISD (verified owner) –
Very well presented course, very thought provoking
Kay – SPRING HILL ISD (verified owner) –
Provided ways to evaluate yourself and ways to improve your teaching.
Kaylyn – NEW BRAUNFELS ISD (verified owner) –
This was a detailed, explanatory course about T-Tess.
Lauren – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –
This is the third time I’ve taken this course and I think it would be much better to take it in person or as a webinar with a live instructor and other students so we could bounce ideas off of each other in breakout rooms. We’ve already seen how virtual learning doesn’t even come close to in-person learning for our students. Why do you think it would be any better when teachers are the students?
Valerie – HUNTSVILLE ISD (verified owner) –
Difficulty staying engaged
Kelley – DENTON ISD (verified owner) –
Well laid out.
Lisa – WHITE SETTLEMENT ISD (verified owner) –
I think this lesson did a good job of explaining the purpose of TTess and the process that goes along with it, along with the expectations for SLO. I am grateful for the training.
Daijha – GARLAND ISD (verified owner) –
I think the course helped me better understand the process of an appraisal and what’s expected of it.
Mona – SPLENDORA ISD (verified owner) –
The course was thorough and covered everything I need to know about TTess.
Brittany – FREDERICKSBURG ISD (verified owner) –
This course would have been better for me in person rather than online so I could ask questions.
Thomas – PASADENA ISD (verified owner) –
I think it was a waste of time.
Kendal – HUBBARD ISD (verified owner) –
It was nice to be a self-paced training. Was able to take a break in the middle as it is a long time to process new information.
Cm – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –
ok
Lisa – KERRVILLE ISD (verified owner) –
Informative course.
Katherine – HURST-EULESS-BEDFORD ISD (verified owner) –
I think it was informative
Luke – FREDERICKSBURG ISD (verified owner) –
Course provided a well paced thorough overview of T-TESS. A way the course could be improved would be to allow the speed setting to be set for each clip. This was helpful for the teacher observation portion but was lacking in the other parts of the course.
Kimberly – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) –
Great
Shelby – DIBOLL ISD (verified owner) –
