The Observation Calibration process helps appraisers increase and ensure scoring accuracy for T-TESS. Appraisers will be provided with practical observation calibration tools for capturing valid and reliable data in a Fine Arts classroom. Participants will have access to a live learning lab, conducting on-site observations during our Summer Student Mariachi camp focused on evidence alignment to T-TESS domains while engaging in multiple opportunities to strengthen the calibration of observations in a Fine Arts setting.
