Calibration Training Module
Get started by introducing yourself to the calibration process with this in-depth calibration training video & supplemental resourcesAppraiser Calibration Training by ESCs
Gain a comprehensive understanding of the calibration process through the T-TESS Appraiser Calibration Training. Engage in multiple calibration exercises using the T-TESS rubric and two distinct protocols, allowing you to refine your scripting and evidence collection skills. This training emphasizes best practices and establishes an ongoing system of checks and balances. You'll have the chance to apply these concepts in your own setting and support their implementation effectively after completing the training.
NOTE: This training is only offered by Regional Education Service Centers (ESCs). Please contact your local ESC directly for dates and times.
