TTESS Goals
As you create goals for this year, here are a few things to keep in mind.
- Create one goal related to student performance on state or local testing. STAAR testing, DRA, Math goals, etc. This applies to classroom teachers and special education teachers. This may not apply to all teaching staff, if you're not sure, please talk with me or Mr. East.
- Create one goal that relates to your own professional development such as technology, classroom management, learning a new technique, etc. This applies to all teaching staff.
- You may create more than two goals if you choose to, but this is not required.
- All staff must create goals even if you will not have a formal observation this school year.
- Please talk with your evaluator by 9/8 if you are eligible to skip your formal observation this year.
thanks,
