Instructional Strategies
TTESS Connections 1.4
TEA September Suggestions
Deepening your and your teachers understanding of the rubric, whether independently or during team meetings, should be the focus as you move past the goal-setting process.
Understanding and internalizing the rubric leads to:
• Conversations with other educators anchored in the rubric, based on a common language and common expectations;
• The ability to map evidence to the rubric efficiently;
• Accurate and objective assessments of practice; and
• Effective goal setting/refinement because it results from a process based in evidence, not in personality.
