Texas Teacher Evaluation and Support System (T-Tess) is the Commissioner-recommended teacher evaluation system for Texas. It's a system designed by educators to support teachers in their professional growth and includes a goal-setting and professional development plan, an evaluation cycle and a student growth measure. 

Completion of this training is one of the required steps to becoming a certified appraiser. Participants must take and pass an online certification test annually.  

Additionally, participants must also attend/have attended either Instructional Leadership Development (ILD) or the new Advancing Educational Leadership (AEL) training in order to complete the required steps of becoming a certified appraiser and are encouraged to verify this information with their districts. 

Uninterrupted attendance at all 3 days consecutively is required.  Participants are requested to make arrangements in their schedule to attend the training in its entirety. Partial attendance of sessions does not satisfy the attendance or certification requirements.

Time: 8:30 am-4:30pm (log on no later than 8:15 am; Session Entry is 8:25 am)

Training Materials will be e-mailed the day prior to the training
