TIA Components

 Based on TIA requirements, the evaluation criteria must include both a teacher observation and a student performance component.  Additionally, Bishop CISD is using qualities of a teacher leader as a third measure. Each component carries a weight in the calculation of the teacher’s overall effectiveness scores.
