AI-Ready Observation Tools
for District Leaders

Give your administrators and coaches a faster path from raw observation notes to evidence-based feedback — built for special education contexts, compliant by design, and works alongside the platform you already use.

See PricingExplore the Tools

Observation write-ups shouldn't take longer than the observation itself.

Administrators and coaches spend hours translating raw notes into structured, evidence-based domain feedback — especially in special education contexts, where documentation carries extra legal and compliance weight. Most AI tools aren't built with that context in mind.

Product 1

Vantage — Teacher Observation Partner

Turn observation notes into evidence-based domain feedback, aligned to your rubric.

  • Works with whatever framework your district already uses — including any NYSED-approved teacher practice rubric under §3012-d (Danielson, Marzano, Marshall, NYSUT, McREL, and others), not just one specific edition. Upload it each session; nothing stored long-term.
  • Structured, domain-by-domain evidence writing — holistic or criterion-by-criterion, your call.
  • Suggested ratings only — final judgment always stays with the observer.
  • Works alongside your existing observation platform (Teachboost, Frontline, etc.) — draft here, paste your finalized write-up into your official system.
Product 2

IDEA/FAPE Compliance Checklist for AI Tools in Special Education

Know which AI tools are safe to deploy — before you deploy them.

  • 20 checkpoints across 5 sections.
  • Clear / conditional / do-not-deploy scoring guide.
  • Built specifically for special education contexts (IDEA, FAPE).

FAQ

Common Questions from District Leaders

Does this replace our current observation platform?

No — it's a drafting/writing assistant that feeds into your existing system. Your platform (Teachboost, Frontline, etc.) remains the system of record.

Is our rubric text stored anywhere?

No — rubrics are uploaded per-session only, never retained.

Is this FERPA-compliant?

No teacher or student data is stored persistently unless you explicitly opt into a storage feature (not enabled by default).

Can we try before purchasing district-wide?

Yes — contact us about a single-seat trial or short demo period for your leadership team before rolling out district-wide.

Ready to equip your leadership team?
