Teacher Self-Assessment Scales (TSAS)• Aligned to the NM Educator Effectiveness System (NMTEACH)

• NMTEACH was revised this year to give more focus to…

• Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CLD) students

• English Learners / English Language Learners (ELs)

• Students with Disabilities (SWD)

• WIDA English Language Development (ELD) Standards

• TSAS was also revised to remain aligned with NMTEACH

• Therefore, today’s assessment provides for a new baseline measure

Prep for and Taking the TSAS (12 min)

• Content is aligned to NMTEACH but format is different…

• Instead of 5-point qualitative rubric, TSAS is based on a scale of 1 to 100

• Respondents are anonymous

• Respondents rate their confidence, on a scale of 1 to 100, to successfully complete the designated tasks, with 1 being little to no confidence, and 100 being ultimate confidence

• We’re not looking for or hoping for high scores, rather we are looking for variation (a good measure varies)

• Consider each item carefully BUT QUICKLY, and…

• Be as humble and introspective as you can…

• TAKE THE ASSESSMENT. Gather completed assessment worksheets…

Post-Assessment Wrap-up (8 min)

• TSAS Purposes and Uses…• NMTEACH is Teacher Evaluation; TSAS is Teacher/Admin

support to assess their individual and collective capabilities to perform designated tasks and functions aligned to NMTEACH

• Individual results can be used for PDP preparation

• Collective results can be used to inform school-wide plans

• Develop a shared understanding of each element

• TSAS data provided are not an indicator of teacher quality and are not evaluative in the sense that they represent a value judgment of teachers

• data are provided by the schools themselves, and therefore these are the schools own self-assessments

• TSAS is about Teacher Efficacy: See TSAS Guidance and Resources
