T-TESS: Where are we in the Process?
All Goal Setting Conferences should be complete and mid-year checks
should be occurring. (Formative Reviews)
Suggestion time would be during the Post Conference meeting.

Goal Setting – Appraiser Overview
PURPOSE: Teachers authentically engage in reflection about current professional practices, identify
professional growth goals, establish and implement a professional development plan to attain those
goals, and track progress toward the goals over the course of the year.

T-TESS: Where are we in the Process?
Appraisers should be half-way through their Formal Observations with Post
Conferences for assigned teachers.
District administrators can check DMAC and Eduphoria for Formal
Observation completion status by appraiser.
Because of spring semester time commitments
(ie. state testing), it is imperative that appraisers
not wait until the last minute to complete Formal
Observations and Post Conferences.
T-PESS: Where are we in the Process?
Superintendents and Designees should be scheduling Mid-Year Progress
Meetings to review the principal’s T-PESS goal progress.
These meetings are ideally held on campus so that appraiser have easy
access to artifacts available for effective conversations.
T-PESS: Where are we in the Process?
Principals should be gathering artifacts related to the T-PESS goal
and other specific T-PESS indicators of interest.
This information will be shared with the Superintendent/Designee
prior to the End-of-Year Conference in May/June.
Superintendents/Designees should provide clear communication
regarding expected artifacts related to the T-PESS goal.

Student Growth Measure
Updates
© Texas Education Agency
T-TESS Overview
Student Growth:
(A) student learning objectives;
(B) student portfolios;
(C) pre- and post-test results on district-level assessments;
or
(D) value-added data based on student state assessment results
Possibility that state-wide application of the Student Growth
Measure as 20% of the Teacher Appraisal System will not go
into effect until…
School Year 2018-2019.
© Texas Education Agency
T-TESS Scoring Overview
Disaggregated Scoring
• Individual scores determined for each of the 16 Dimensions
• In 2018-19, student growth simply becomes the 17th Dimension
Cumulative Scoring
• Dimension scores are combined to determine a cumulative score for each Domain
• Domain scores are combined to determine an overall cumulative score, which accounts for 80% of the teacher’s summative score
• In 2018-19, student growth must account for at least 20% of the teacher’s summative score
So What Does this mean for 2017-18?
T-TESS will still count for 100% of the teacher’s appraisal.
Districts are expected to pilot one of the four methods for measuring student
growth with a sampling of teachers.
(A) student learning objectives;
(B) student portfolios;
(C) pre- and post-test results on district-level assessments;
or
(D) value-added data based on student state assessment results (Tx-VAAS)
Student Growth Measure data will not need to be reported to TEA… This is
simply a second pilot year for all districts.
Simply engage in the PROCESS!!!
What do we know about the 4 options?
(A) student learning
objectives
State designed one day
training provided by ESC’s
on the model. (TEA/CTAC)
(B) student portfolios
Some guidance may be
provided in
Commissioner’s
communication to
districts. (new)
What do we know about the 4 options?
(C) pre- and post-test results on district-level assessments
No specific guidance provided by TEA. LEA discretion on implementation process.
(D) value-added data based on student state assessment results.
Tx-VAAS system accessible to districts through vendor contract.
Tx-VAAS Statistical analysis system that calculates student growth based on previous
three years of STAAR performance by student.
Impacts only 20% of teachers in a district.
District contracts with Tx-VAAS will be made directly with the vendor.
State funding will not be provided for this system.
TEA will supply state data to Tx-VAAS for purposes of data sampling and
statistical analysis.
