Due to the COVID-19 emergency, the Linkage process is canceled for the 2019–2020 school year. The Linkage process is used to calculate Comparative Growth, one of several measures of Student Performance used in Teacher Appraisal and Development (TADS) summative ratings. Cancelation of the Linkage process is aligned with the district’s decision to provide flexibility to sections of DNA(LOCAL), including the omission of the Student Performance category from teachers' summative ratings for the 2019–2020 school year. Teachers should email TADS@houstonisd.org for additional questions regarding changes to TADS related to COVID-19.  

HISD uses high-quality growth data to guide instructional decision-making and provide a more comprehensive picture of student growth over time. Find resources to further understanding, including reference materials and research publications.

The linkage process provides an important opportunity for teachers and campus-based staff to review and confirm the data used in calculating growth.

The Teacher and School Leader (TSL) Incentive Program offers performance-based compensation to increase the effectiveness of teachers and leaders. Under the Award tab, users can find archived materials for the current TSL incentive, as well as archived materials for expired award programs such as ASPIRE and Apollo.
