This poster session presents a REL Southwest study of the pilot year data for the Texas Teacher Evaluation and Support System (T-TESS). The study examined the statistical properties of the T-TESS rubric to explore the extent to which it differentiates teacher quality and to investigate its internal consistency and efficiency. The study also explored the relationships between rubric ratings and school characteristics to learn whether certain types of schools have teachers with higher or lower ratings.
