Calling all principals! Looking to streamline classroom observations while engaging in thoughtful, evidence-based conversations with teachers?
The widely-popular Danielson Framework for Teaching can now be leveraged within Edthena’s free, AI-powered Observation Copilot. Using this tool, coaches and principals can instantly turn their low-inference classroom observation notes into feedback that’s aligned to The Danielson Group’s Framework for Teaching in just minutes. This not only saves principals hours of work during the classroom observation process, it allows them to provide more meaningful feedback based on a framework proven to support classroom instruction and teacher growth.
Today, The Danielson Group’s Framework for Teaching is the most popular teaching framework in the United States, with it being adopted, approved, or adapted in 31 states. By using the Framework for Teaching as part of the observation and coaching process, principals can accelerate teacher growth, improve student outcomes, and create a more rewarding and sustaining professional environment.
Here’s how the process works: Using Observation Copilot, principals take notes as they observe a teacher in the classroom. Then, with one click, Observation Copilot creates an initial draft of principals’ written feedback by aligning the principal’s evidence to the district’s instructional framework or a custom framework of the principal’s choice, such as The Danielson Group’s Framework for Teaching.
Observation Copilot also provides principals with suggestions for instructionally relevant next steps for teachers. Principals then review, refine, and copy the feedback into their existing systems.
“A typical observation takes me two to three hours to complete the write-up. But, using Observation Copilot, I’m down to about 20 to 30 minutes!” says Adam Oakley, a principal in Spokane Public Schools.
Another principal called Observation Copilot an “absolute game changer,” saying, “Not only does it save me time, I’m also giving incredible, actionable feedback and suggestions to teachers.”
