T-TESS VS. TADS • Throughout the 2017 -18 academic year, teachers and stakeholders met to discuss the differences between TTESS (the state’s recommended teacher evaluation system) and TADS (HISD’s evaluation system). • The decision was made, based on feedback from teachers and appraisers during multiple feedback and information sessions, to keep TADS and make revisions to the current processes in TADS. • Those revisions are being formulated and prepared for approval. • Changes to TADS WILL NOT occur until the 20192020 school year.
