The TIA annual review consists of the following components:
Teacher Performance (T-TESS rubric based on observations of practice)
Student Growth (student assessment growth results for the individual teacher)
The scorecard is used by the teacher and appraiser to discuss T-TESS data and growth data, and how the overall points come together and to see current data. The end of the year check point will be used to finalize the score for TIA designation. The end of the year scorecard will be reviewed with the TIA Lead.
To see examples of various score cards, expand the scenarios below to see how each designation level is determined.
A Kindergarten teacher receives an average score of 3.5 across Domains 2 and 3 of T-TESS on her summative.
Since the teacher instructs Math and ELAR, the student growth measure with the highest percentage will be used as the final student growth percentage. 55% of her students met their ELAR growth goal and 63% of her students met their Math growth goal as determined by the EOY TEKS Ready Assessment. This means she has 63% for her student growth measure in ELAR.
