Calibration with TxCEE-From Reliability to Validity

Whether you are a part of the Teacher Incentive Allotment or not, ensuring that your teacher evaluations are in line with student outcomes is critical to achieving the success that you know is possible. Does everyone on the team know the T-TESS rubric and use it as their North Star for planning and curricular execution? Is it truly the common language of teaching and learning in your district?

The Texas Center for Educator Excellence is proud to offer a customizable set of trainings to help you move beyond reliability and into validity; T-TESS Deep Dive; Learning Cycles; Structures and Resources for Observers.
