The Texas Teacher Evaluation and Support System (T-TESS) is the Commissioner recommended teacher evaluation system for the state of Texas. This training is required for anyone who will be appraising teachers. In addition to this training, all T-TESS appraisers must have Advancing Educational Leadership (AEL) certification before appraising teachers. ILD certification received prior to January 1, 2016 is an acceptable substitute for AEL certification.
The T-TESS Appraiser Certification Training is a Virtual training from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Attendance is required for all three days.
