T-TESS Appraiser Training Guide & Rubric Participant Handouts

Product Update: We are excited to announce an important update to our T-TESS Appraiser Training Guide and T-TESS Rubric. The updated version now includes the new Alt Domain I Rubric, further enhancing your training and implementation experience.

The T-TESS Appraiser Training Guide and the T-TESS Rubric are required resources for all participants enrolled in the three-day T-TESS Appraiser Training, and are necessary to implement the T-TESS process as an ongoing system of feedback and support for continuous teacher growth.

These resources were crafted to enhance the T-TESS experience, and will be used during the training to help guide the application and understanding of the T-TESS domains, dimensions, descriptors, and performance levels.

Also available in a bundle that includes the easy to use T-TESS Rubric Flipchart.
