TDES is the Teacher Development and Evaluation System for the Cleveland Metropolitan Schools.  Based on the Charlotte Danielson Framework for Professional Practice, TDES has transformed an outdated employee evaluation checklist into a comprehensive system based on self-reflection, observation, feedback and a plan for growth.

 

The teacher development focus of the TDES system provides opportunities for CMSD teachers to engage within the District in meaningful learning experiences to benefit every child in Cleveland. With focused professional development offered at buildings and at locations throughout the district, CMSD teachers dig deep into the Framework for Professional Practice (the TDES rubrics) to enhance the effectiveness of their teaching. 

 

By state law, the evaluation system for teachers is based on 50% teacher performance and 50% student growth measures. TDES is the performance-based assessment tool.  TDES was piloted during the 2011 - 2012 and 2012 - 2013 school years and began district-wide for the 2013 - 2014 school year.
