SnapShot
Classroom Walk Through and Teacher Evaluation Software
Teacher and classroom walk-throughs have become a standard for K-12 environments. It’s crucial that observers have specifics on what to look for as well as standardized tools to quickly and easily document observations. SnapShot provides administrators with easy-to-use, customizable, web-based software to record the quality of teacher and classroom behavior based on their observations.
SnapShot is user-definable and easily modifiable. Prior to Snapshot’s first use, schools establish:
- Observation categories such as: Learning Environment, Teacher Actions, Instructional Strategies
- Criteria specifics such as: level of student engagement, teacher movement in the classroom, successes celebrated, use of technology, teacher-student interaction
- Rating scales.
Evaluators access SnapShot from a tablet, laptop or PC. Select the teacher, classroom and content area from preloaded school information, and the observer selects ratings for each criteria. User-definable evaluation and target expectation notes can also be entered. Once complete, save the SnapShot evaluation for future access and reports.Observe – tap – save – report. SnapShot is that simple!
