I think the course covered what needed to be addressed, especially for new teachers to the state of Texas.

I enjoyed that the videos were short and really direct and to the point. It seemed much easier to understand than the other T-TESS training I have had this year. I am a new teacher and I was really worried about the “evaluation”.

Jesús – ELGIN ISD (verified owner) –
It is good, but there could be more interaction, like a forum or something where you can access materials, post questions, open a debate about something, etc. And all of that organized somehow in categories so is easily accesible.
Brenda – Private Pay (verified owner) –
The time to answer questions about rubric too short.

Very informative. It made me more conscience of how I need to start planning lessons and approaching student growth.

This course is very informative and leaves with very few questions about the T-TESS process. Plus, it gives me a peace of mind about the process and to think about it as a tool instead of a task to overthink about.
Christian – ELGIN ISD (verified owner) –
I think it’s very binary and information-loaded. Lots of good opportunities to further understanding.
Mia – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –
I appreciate more information about the T-TESS, as fear is something that can hold us back as educators.

Marie – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –
I think it is long, time consuming, and stressful to have to take this during the school year when you are trying to stay afloat with all the expectations we have as educators. I think it would be better to offer this course in person and during a summer training so that we can plan more effectively and not have all the other stressors in the back of our minds as we complete this training.
william – DENTON ISD (verified owner) –
what is this? who is doing this? if a 25 year experienced teacher is only making $10,000 more than a 1st year teacher then it is not an incentive to stay in the field.
Edna – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) –
This course was easy to follow with a lot of useful information. Make sure to download the rubics, along with anything else that they suggest.
ernesto – SAN BENITO CISD (verified owner) –
It was a good course and explained the appraisal tool purpose.
Andres – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –
There was no discussion with peers nor a way to interact with them or see their responses until the last possible moment (after the questions). Make this a full day inclusive training instead.
Kelly – WHITE SETTLEMENT ISD (verified owner) –
It was informative
Priscila – BEAUMONT ISD (verified owner) –
This course provides valuable guidance for teachers in the field.
Amanda – BEAUMONT ISD (verified owner) –
