Part of Domain 4.4 in TTESS is "contacting parents regarding students' academic and social/emotional growth through various methods." The difference between Proficient and Accomplished is Proficient = "regularly contacts," Accomplished = "systemically contacts." It is a great time to consider documenting and making a positive call home to each learner in your class. It will pay HUGE dividends with your parents AND learners!

CISD FOCUSED WALKTHROUGH
We will give feedback on Domain 2 Dimension 1: Achieving Expectations. We will be looking for evidence that your learners have mastered content and are held to high levels of accountability for their learning. This looks like self-assessing, reflecting on menu work or assignments, posting to Schoology or SeeSaw, etc.
Initiative- taking action; originating new ideas
