Good course. Maybe a little slow in some areas, but not deep enough in all the different levels of the dimensions. I’m sure this will become clearer the longer I teach and I see exactly what the expectations are with regard to our district.

It was a good course. The T-TESS in general is a lot of information, so some parts were a bit difficult to understand. However, I did learn what to expect and why certain things are done. I also saw good examples of teachers I can follow and got some ideas that I can use in my classroom.

I find that something as complex as TTESS evaluation would be better suited for an in-person training where clarifying questions could be asked. While the overview of information is great. The implementation still varies widely based on your school and classroom setting, and your student population.
