T-TESS End of Year Conference
Domain 4, Professional Practices and Responsibilities, is not scored until after the teacher has been provided the opportunity to present evidence to the four dimensions during the end-of-year conference.
Domain 4 and Evidence for Scoring
When preparing for the End-of-Year Conference, teachers should consider the following aspects of each dimension and possible sources of evidence that will guide the discussion.
Dimension 4.1 Professional Demeanor and Ethics: The teacher meets district expectations for attendance, professional appearance, decorum, procedural, ethical, legal and statutory responsibilities. Possible evidence: Throughout the school year: adherence to Code of Ethics and Standards for Educators, attendance, appearance, professional conduct in meetings and interactions with others, efforts to advocate for students.
Dimension 4.2 Goal Setting: The teacher reflects on his/her practice. Possible evidence: Educator Goal-Setting and Professional Development Plan forms and other evidence of self-reflection, active participation in pre- and post-conferences, incorporating feedback into lessons in a timely fashion, evidence of growth across observations throughout the year, if applicable.
Dimension 4.3 Professional Development: The teacher enhances the professional community. Possible evidence: Educator professional development planning forms or other evidence of professional growth activities, contribution to professional development efforts at the district and/or campus level, efforts to foster growth among colleagues through sharing of information and collaboration.
Dimension 4.4 School/Community Involvement: The teacher demonstrates leadership with students, colleagues, and community members in the school, district and community through effective communication and outreach. Possible evidence: Partnerships with community organizations, participation as a productive member of campus PLCs and grade-level teams, visibility at campus activities and during class transitions.
