What iObservation is
iObservation is a web platform for managing evaluation information across classroom walkthroughs, conferences, teacher evaluations, self-assessments, and instructional rounds. Teachers, evaluators, school leaders, and district leaders can run informal walkthroughs, formal evaluations, instructional rounds, and self-assessments from any device, even without a wireless connection. It supports Marzano observation forms plus custom forms for state, district, or school requirements. Results can be linked to targeted videos, articles, and teacher tools for identified growth areas. Teachers can build SMART-goal growth plans connected to observation and self-assessment data. District reports show results across buildings and can narrow to an individual teacher and strategy. Private conversations and asynchronous forums support professional learning. iObservation is paid, with pricing available on request; the product page directs prospects to request a demo.
