Observation Partner
What it is
Observation Partner is a web-based tool for K-12 school leaders to collect classroom evidence, prepare rubric-aligned feedback drafts, and track observations. It turns notes into editable drafts using Danielson Style, Marzano Style, or a district rubric. Administrators can use templates, focus areas, tone controls, revision history, and Word export. Individual workspaces provide a roster of teacher observation requirements and outstanding observations. Guided school setup adds shared rosters, evaluator assignments, and building-level completion visibility. The product supports drafting and tracking; the district-approved evaluation system remains the official record. It works in modern browsers on laptops, Chromebooks, tablets, and smartphones, and requires internet access to generate drafts and save changes. Evidence can be uploaded as PDF or Word DOCX files. The Free plan includes 1,250 lifetime starter AI credits. Individual plans cost $9.99 a month or $89.99 a year, with a 7-day trial; School Setup costs $149 per administrator per year. Multi-building district rollups are not currently available.

The verdict
Observation Partner brings evidence capture, feedback drafting, and observation tracking into a browser-based workflow. Keep the district-approved evaluation system as the official record, and note that district rollups across multiple buildings are not currently supported.
Who it suits
Observation Partner suits K-12 administrators who need to draft observation feedback and track requirements for individual or school teams. It is not a replacement for the district-approved evaluation system.
