The Teacher Self-Assessment Scales (TSAS). Presented to school participants at the 2015 Fall ALD4ALL Kick-Off on September 22, 2015 by Dr. Joseph P. Martinez.

1. Teacher Self-Assessment Scales (TSAS)
• Aligned to the NM Educator Effectiveness System (NMTEACH)
• NMTEACH was revised this year to give more focus to…
• Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CLD) students
• English Learners / English Language Learners (ELs)
• Students with Disabilities (SWD)
• WIDA English Language Development (ELD) Standards
• TSAS was also revised to remain aligned with NMTEACH
• Therefore, today’s assessment provides for a new baseline
measure

2. Prep for and Taking the TSAS (12min)
• Content is aligned to NMTEACH but format is different…
• Instead of 5-point qualitative rubric, TSAS is based on a scale
of 1 to 100
• Respondents are anonymous
• Respondents rate their confidence, on a scale of 1 to 100, to
successfully complete the designated tasks, with 1 being little
to no confidence, and 100 being ultimate confidence
• We’re not looking for or hoping for high scores, rather we are
looking for variation (a good measure varies)
• Consider each item carefully BUT QUICKLY, and…
• Be as humble and introspective as you can…
• TAKE THE ASSESSMENT. Gather completed assessment
worksheets…

3. Post-Assessment Wrap-up (8min)
• TSAS Purposes and Uses…
• NMTEACH is Teacher Evaluation; TSAS is Teacher/Admin
support to assess their individual and collective capabilities to
perform designated tasks and functions aligned to NMTEACH
• Individual results can be used for PDP preparation
• Collective results can be used to inform school-wide plans
• Develop a shared understanding of each element
• TSAS data provided are not an indicator of teacher quality and
are not evaluative in the sense that they represent a value
judgment of teachers
• data are provided by the schools themselves, and therefore
these are the schools own self-assessments
• TSAS is about Teacher Efficacy: See TSAS Guidance and
Resources
