RELATIONSHIPS | GOOD INSTRUCTION | GOAL-SETTING
Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning. - Benjamin Franklin
How do you convince yourself to get back up and swing again after a failure?
...the system is about collaboration, reflection, and professional growth.
It’s not something that’s done to someone, but instead is a pervasive growth mindset ... effective educators consistently seek out opportunities to improve.
It’s okay to be where you are; it’s not okay to stay there.
T-TESS includes these components:
- Goal-setting and professional development plan
- The evaluation cycle (including: pre-conference, observation, post-conference)
Below are the T-TESS Dimensions we will be working through in conjunction with the coaching cycle.
T-TESS Rubric
Terminology to Know
Before we jump in, let's get an overview of Domain 1 - Planning.
Now that you've seen the big picture, let's look at each dimension in detail through a jigsaw activity.
Let's do 1.1 - Standards and Alignment together!
At your table, decide who will complete the activity for 1.2 - Data and Assessment, 1.3 - Knowledge of Students, and 1.4 - Activities.
Complete the jigsaw:
- think time on your own
- share with the cohort member who has the same dimension as you
- share out with the table
Now, we'll deconstruct Domain 3 - Learning Environment.
Now, perform the same jigsaw task for Domain 3 at your table.
