Week of February 11, 2019
Vision: Academic Excellence and Success
From Mr. Rs Desk
Again, if you have not done so, please schedule your formal observation as soon as possible with your supervisor. In anticipation of your evaluation, it is wise for everyone to review the TTESS rubric. Keep in mind that TTESS focuses more on what the learner is doing rather than what the teacher is doing. In addition, please pay close attention to the rating descriptors in each Dimension. Follow the link below to view the TTESS Rubric.

The reflective teacher...
- In my classroom, who is doing most of the questioning?
- Daily, do I vary instructional strategies or do I use the one-size-fits-all instruction?
- Are my students at an advantage as a result of me...according to the T-TESS evaluation system?
