• System Components

    A local designation system must include the components of Teacher Observation Performance, Student Growth, and a Spending Plan. It can also include Optional components chosen by the district.

    Eligibility for receiving a designation through a local designation system requires receiving a full performance evaluation, which in Fort Bend ISD is done through the T- TESS appraisal process, and student data from the defined student growth measure.
