👤 Summary
The T-TESS Teacher Appraisal File Review report provides a detailed review of teacher appraisal data submitted for the Texas Teacher Evaluation and Support System (T-TESS). It combines educator demographic information, assignment details, appraiser information, observation/growth assignments, annual growth measures, target scores, and individual T-TESS dimension ratings into a single report for validation and review prior to state submission.
This report is designed to help districts verify the accuracy and completeness of T-TESS appraisal records and identify missing or inconsistent data before reporting.
