The course is informative. I just don’t like that you can’t alter the video speed. The lady was talking too slow for my liking. It was making me sleepy.

I think it goes over all of the steps of the T-TESS observation very well and gives you the opportunity to do an example observation on your own. It gave me more insight on what to expect.
Denise – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) –

The T-TESS course provided invaluable insights into effective teaching practices and evaluation. Its emphasis on evidence-based feedback and student-centered approaches has significantly enhanced my understanding of teaching dynamics. The focus on goal-setting for professional growth is particularly commendable, providing a clear roadmap for improvement. However, I believe that continued support and resources for effectively integrating student feedback could be further emphasized. Overall, the course has been a valuable resource, equipping me with practical tools to enhance my teaching and evaluation techniques.
April – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –
I felt like it was an overall good course. I know it might be longer but I would like to see a break down of lessons. I’d like to see examples of a proficient lesson vs an accomplished lesson.
Xochitl – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –
The course is informative and well laid out, but it does still have some glitches as you move from module to module and try submitting questions, as well as try to show a module is complete.
I also which it had a speed playback option. I had to do this on my own time at home an neglected the needs of my family. Teachers need their personal time to be respected and all training should be done during work hours or paid at regular teacher pay as over-time.
