Frenchwood's Friday Focus
December 4, 2015
T-TESS; Texas Teacher Evaluation and Support System
Purpose: The standards identified in this section are performance standards to be used to inform the training, appraisal, and professional development of teachers.
Standard 1: Instructional Planning and Delivery- Teachers demonstrate their understanding of instructional planning and delivery by providing standards-based, differentiated instruction that engages students, makes appropriate use of technology, and makes learning relevant for today's learners.
As you can see, the Educators standards will outline what great teachers do everyday for students. T-TESS being aligned to the Educator Standards is great because it will lead to every student receiving great instruction everyday, like we do at Miller!
