Alert: Opportunity to serve on T-TESS advisory committee
Date Posted: 7/29/2025 | Author: Tricia Cave
The Texas Teacher Evaluation and Support System (T-TESS), our state’s now 10-year-old teacher evaluation system, is scheduled to get a refresh over the next year, with a pilot set to begin in Fall 2026. T-TESS will be updated to align with the new teacher pedagogy standards, which the Texas Education Agency (TEA) developed and implemented over the past year.
As part of the refresh, TEA will be forming a stakeholder advisory committee consisting of teachers, school leaders, and other administrators. Educators who are interested in serving on the stakeholder advisory committee can learn more and apply here. The application is due Monday, Aug. 4.
In addition to individual educators, the agency will also select districts for field testing. Districts interested in participating are being encouraged to self-identify. Districts that participate will give TEA access to K-12 classrooms and their teachers.

Do I have to be a teacher of record to get the HB 2 teacher raise?
My district is telling me I have to be a teacher of record / have a grade book to get the HB 2 raise, but that doesn’t match what I have been hearing about the bill—HELP!
I have been teaching for 30 years and am employed at Dripping Springs ISD and would be happy to serve on the committee.
I am retired from Lewisville ISD and would be happy to serve on the committee.
