Mastering T TESS Instruction

Join us as we demystify the Texas Teacher Evaluation and Support System (T-TESS), specifically Domain II: Instruction. It is one thing to write a great lesson plan, but how do you bring that learning to life with a room full of students? In this video, we serve as your guide to the 5 dimensions of T-TESS instruction, breaking down what effective, student-centered teaching really looks like in practice. In this video, you will learn: The T-TESS Rubric: Why "Proficient" is the target for rock-solid teaching. The Paradigm Shift: How to transfer the "heavy lifting" of learning from the teacher to the students. The 5 Dimensions: A simple breakdown of Expectations, Content Knowledge, Communication, Differentiation, and Monitor & Adjust. Actionable Steps: Real-world examples of how to build student agency in your future classroom. Whether you are a teacher candidate, a student teacher, or simply looking to refine your instructional skills, this video will give you the tools you need to create engaged, empowered, and lifelong learners!
