I think the course could be shorter, but it’s very informative and gives you good insight into the purpose and process of T-TESS.
Rose Ann – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) –
The course was organized in an efficient matter with the exception of having to listen to a whole lesson. Otherwise, the information shared was useful to my understanding of T-Tess procedures and processes.
Catherine – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) –
As with many courses, we should be able to take a pre-test to opt out of online trainings or should be able to attend a training in person, to review with a team of people in our own content area.
Diana – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) –
It is a good course.
Brittany – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) –
It was lengthy. I understand it’s necessity when I can’t have the conversation with my evaluator or my team prior to the TTES but I’ve been out sick since this was assigned so it was cumbersome to complete.
The information was concise and painted a clearer picture of the evaluation/appraisal process though so the work found within the lesson is sufficient.
Matthew – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) –
The course was a great way to better understand the process and the reason for the process.
Matthew – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) –
Great training! Thank you!
Clayton – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) –
This was a great course. As a first year teacher, it really gave me a lot of information that I needed.
Alicia – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) –
I felt this course was helpful because it allowed me to have a better understanding of the T-TESS Rubric and how the rubric creates a partnership with the students. I also liked how this course allowed us to see the rubric from an appraiser perspective. This helped me understand how two way communication is important and will help plan instruction more effectively.
Cynthia – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) –
I thought this course broke the content down into sections which were easy to understand. We did get to hear what several teams thought of the included observation. I think I would like to also hear a more objective evaluation as opposed to subjective input. I was glad I had the opportunity to take this course.
Ariana – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) –
It is well done but too lengthy.
Luis – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) –

Patrick – ELGIN ISD (verified owner) –
I believe it presents the information well and understandable, also keeps you engaged.
Delores – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) –
The training was informative and useful. It offered clear expectations on what a T TESS evaluation will look and feel like. I was unable to print the required material which made going through the course rather challenging. I did not clearly understand the purpose of comparing the phrases of the different categories in the introduction of the course.

The evaluations need to be more than just about what we need to do academically. So many other factors go into teaching and those need to be considered.
