OUTCOMES
ARTIFACTS. . .
 are produced by the work of
teaching.
 are documents, records, objects and
other items made for improving
instruction.
 may provide evidence for Domains 2
and 3, but are the best and
sometimes only evidence for
Domains 1 and 4.
OBSERVATION
DOCUMENTS . . .
 will result from the Pre-Observation and
Post Observation Interviews (e.g.
lesson/unit plans, interview questions,
family communications).
 will include evidence gathered during
instruction.
 may include artifacts which provide
evidence of Domain 2 and 3 work.
STUDENT
OUTCOMES. . .
 will be found in student learning shown
by examples of student work.
 will be shown in both Formative and
Summative Student Assessments.
 include student achievement increases
that document student academic
growth – the goal of TESS.

Communication
ARTIFACTS: not ‘additions’ to teacher
work; they exist as part of working to
improve instruction (see examples).
ARTIFACTS: not simply part of a large
portfolio, but that which communicates
about teacher or student work.
ARTIFACTS: will be planned and
collected in digital or hard-copy format
determined as part of local TESS work.
ARTIFACTS: speak positively or
negatively about on-stage or off-stage
work. Plan for using artifacts. Question
their purpose and the results of their
use.
REMEMBER. . .
• Artifacts are evidence in the Teacher
Excellence and Support System.
• Artifacts are part of our current practice.
• Artifacts may provide information for every
domain of the Framework for Teaching.
REMEMBER. . .
• Plan for artifacts.
• Be reasonable with artifact requirements.
• Include discussing and analyzing artifacts
in conferences.
• Work to improve understanding and use of
artifacts.
