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. Teachers and evaluators can complete informal walkthroughs, formal evaluations, instructional rounds, and self-assessments from any device, with or without a wireless connection. The system supports Marzano observation forms plus custom forms for state, district, or school evaluation processes. Results can trigger feedback after a visit and connect teachers with targeted videos, articles, and tools for identified growth areas. Teachers can create individualized SMART-goal plans linked to observation and self-assessment data, with recommended on-demand professional learning. District reports show results across buildings and can drill into a teacher’s result for a specific strategy. Private conversations and asynchronous forums support professional learning by department, grade level, or strategy. Marzano Evaluation Center presents iObservation as the technology layer of its implementation system, connecting evaluation activity with professional development. Pricing is available on request.
