iWalkthrough Classroom Observation

Description

A next-generation instructional-improvement system that merges cutting-edge digital technologies and proven classroom-observation strategies to equip schools with the powerful tools they need to improve the educational performance, aspirations, and outcomes of today's students.

Observable instructional characteristics
The iWalkthrough categories record several observable teaching and learning characteristics that cross all grades and content areas, which can then be analyzed, compared, and cross-referenced with student-achievement data.

Secure and confidential data
All iWalkthrough data is archived in a secure hosted environment with automated backups, while customized user privileges and password-protected access ensure confidentiality of sensitive school data.

Short, frequent classroom observations
During brief, three-to-five-minute observations, educators record instructional characteristics on digital handheld devices, such as smartphones, iPod Touches, tablet computers, and netbooks.

Track your progress over time
The hundreds, even thousands, of snapshot iWalkthrough observations collected over weeks, months, and years are analyzed, compared, and cross-referenced, revealing the prevailing instructional patterns within a school.
