* Index 2 and Index 3 targets for non‐AEA campuses will be set at about the fifth percentile of non‐AEA 2016 campus performance by campus type. Targets for non‐AEA districts corresponded to about the fifth percentile of non‐AEA 2016 campus performance across all campus types.

Which domains count more?

What exactly is this?

Can hard code this an “A” is my guess!

“other measures” must be quantifiable which leaves TSI, SAT, or ACT all of which are not funded

Also Dual Credit hours per student is a possibility

Key Questions

What is the work of ESC’s regarding the new systems?

How do the systems support continuous improvement?

How do the systems relate to TAIS processes (Support Systems, CSFs, etc.)

Role of ESCs so farDeliver TTESS 3 day Appraiser TrainingSupport Fidelity of Implementation

Facilitate Key Processes/Best PracticesOrientationGoal SettingObservationsPre‐, Post, End of Year Conferences

Facilitate communications between TEA & districtsReceive evaluation data and feedback

Texas Teacher Evaluation and Support System (T-TESS) Purpose: Growth

Formalize what highly effective teachers do

Provide timely, formative ongoing feedback

Develop habits of self‐assessment, reflection, and adjustment

Create collaborative, relational, supportive cultures

EVERY teacher establishes individual goals for professional growth and increased effectiveness.

EVERY teacher receives feedback to identify an area of REINFORCEMENT (= GLOW).

EVERY teacher receives feedback to identify an area of REFINEMENT (= GROW).

Collective, campus wide investment in Continuous Improvement.

T-TESS is a GROWTH-ORIENTED MODEL

With T‐TESS, supervisors will be investing more time

conferencing with teachers observing teachers and providing feedback to teachers,

to help improve instruction.

Goal: Leverage the process and to create a growth mind‐set that is deeply embedded in the school.

AN INVESTMENT IN GROWING PEOPLE!

Why Change? Because Educator Quality Matters

“Teaching had 6 to 10 times as much impact on achievement as all other factors combined.”

Michael Schmoker

“If education leaders want to close the achievement gap, they must focus, first and foremost, on developing qualified teachers.” Katy Haycock

“Success [in education] hinges on what happens at the classroom level.” Thomas Guskey

System Integration

TAIS: Systems Support; Continuous Improvement; CSFs

T‐PESS: Leadership Responsibilities

T‐TESS: Domains, Dimensions, Indicators

Leveraging, not layering

Work with the T‐TESS Rubric, T‐PESS Leadership Responsibilities and TAIS Framework to identify areas where the evaluation systems might be leveraged to further your work with schools in improvement.
