This targeted professional learning experience is designed to strengthen TTESS appraiser accuracy and confidence when observing and evaluating instruction across all classrooms, including those serving students receiving Special Education services. Grounded firmly in the T-TESS framework, this session emphasizes that effective teaching practices for Special Education students are not separate from, but embedded within, high-quality instruction for all learners.
