About Strive

 

STRIVE redesigns the professional development process, moving beyond T-TESS and T-PESS expectations, and focusing on continuous improvement and growth! It combines our applications of Appraise and Workshop because goal-setting, professional development, and evaluation should go hand-in-hand. 

 

 

Currently, Strive is a user interface overlay that sits on top of Appraise and Workshop. Nothing in Appraise and Workshop will go away until complete parity exists:

• Appraise = Strive and
• Workshop = Strive.

For more information on the development roadmap, please visit the Strive Development Features article.

In the future, Aware elements will also integrate with Strive when the Student Learning Objective (SLO) component is fully developed.
