Description
As the teacher shortage crisis continues, we can help simplify your new hire process. The content is organized into five manageable modules that teachers can easily comprehend, allowing for meaningful discussions between principals and educators. Once teachers have completed this course, they will have the knowledge and confidence to help positively impact students’ learning outcomes, as well as their own performance and professional growth. The T-TESS Teacher Orientation is excellent for new and late hires.

It is a good course to become more familiar with T-TESS. However, I am not sure what did they mean telling that SLO would help measuring the students growth.

The host/narrator of the training speaks so clearly and supportively. I imagine she’s just a hired actress, but her delivery really allows you to move through each module with clarity. I also appreciate the hands-on approach of putting us in an evaluator’s shoes: having us observe a real teacher in a real classroom with real students delivering a real lesson. I give the training 4 stars instead of 5 because the final module’s section regarding SLO’s seemed to come out of nowhere. I don’t quite fully understand what it is or how it fits in with the lion’s share of the training’s focus, which was upon the classroom evaluation process from beginning to end.

I would let it be known that before watching the video there is no need to take pages of notes on the video. It’s very misleading.

This gave multiple explanations for why we have the TTESS system and allowed teachers to see the appraisers perspective which helped a lot.
