iObservation
What it is
iObservation is a web platform for collecting, managing, and reporting longitudinal information from classroom walkthroughs, conferences, teacher evaluations, self-assessments, and instructional rounds. Users can conduct informal walkthroughs, formal evaluations, instructional rounds, and self-assessments from any device, including when wireless access is unavailable. The platform supports Marzano observation forms and custom forms for state, district, or school evaluation processes. Feedback after visits can connect teachers with targeted videos, articles, and tools for identified growth areas. Teachers can create SMART-goal growth plans linked to observation and self-assessment data, with recommended on-demand professional development. District reports show results across buildings and can drill into an individual teacher’s results for a specific strategy. Private conversations and asynchronous forums support professional learning. Marzano Evaluation Center describes iObservation as the technology layer connecting observations with professional development. Pricing is available on request, with the product page directing prospects to request a demo.
