Do teachers have to participate in TIA? If not, do they have to participate in T-TESS?

Teachers do not “have” to participate in TIA; however, all teachers will complete the required components for TIA through participation in T-TESS since student growth is a necessary component of the evaluation system. All teachers will participate in T-TESS since it is the board-adopted evaluation system at Life School. Teachers who fail to complete the student growth process, either through the SLO process or the Pre-Test/Post-test process, may only earn up to a score of Developing on Dimensions 1.2 and 2.5.
