Calibration Training (T-TESS or other evaluation tool rubric)
Time: Full Day Training

This training is designed to improve calibration through inter-rater reliability between campus and district appraisers.

This training is held at Region 10 and works directly with campus/district appraisers in creating their own implementation plans to improve calibration between campus/district appraisers.  Participants will reflect on their own instructional lens to identify observational patterns and trends that skew the data.  Based on their own reflection of observational data, participants will engage in practices to increase inter-rater reliability using the T-TESS rubric. Participants will understand the calibration process and the importance of inter-rater reliability; apply the T-TESS rubric to the classroom observation process through videoed lessons; evaluate observation data to objectively improve calibration; and develop an implementation plan through timelines, systems, and procedures for the campus/district (Full Day Training)

For districts using an evaluation tool other than T-TESS, Region 10 will customize this training based on district needs.
