TKES
We are finishing walkthroughs and TKES formatives are beginning. We are trying to get formatives complete for teachers in grades 3-5 prior to the GA Milestones. We will email everyone prior to the observation week to let you know we will be coming in.
ALL 10 standards will be rated but comments will only be for standards with a rating of Level I, II, or IV.
We will also be completing your Summative Assessment immediately following your Formative.
End of Year Conferences will be held between now and May.
Any questions regarding TKES process or ratings, please reach out to Alexander or Pitchford.
