Tutorial on Tutoring

What's Next in the TCLAS Tutoring Plan

Meet Ashley

Ashley Nelson is the new contact person for the TCLAS Tutoring Grant. She is working closely with Janet Thornton to ensure you are all taken care of and the implementation plans are moving forward.

Ashley comes to ESC 17 from Levelland ISD where she was an Assistant Principal. Before Levelland she was in Frenship ISD working as a Campus Intervention Specialist coordinating special programs and assessment.

Fidelity of Implementation Rubric

In August, TEA will be releasing the "Fidelity of Implementation" rubric that will be used to evaluate your implementation of the TCLAS Decision 6 Grant. We will be offering a few trainings coming up to support the area of "Supplemental ESC-led workshops and trainings that address LEA challenges". The link to some of those are below.

When the rubrics are officially released, Ashley will offer a session at ESC 17 to go over the rubric and the evaluation criteria.
