Why Schools Choose Classroom Walkthroughs

More features than iObservation at a similar price point

Photo Evidence

Capture and attach photos during observations to document student work, classroom environment, and teaching materials. iObservation doesn't support this.

Goals & SLO Tracking

Set, track, and measure teacher goals and Student Learning Objectives directly in the platform. Connect evaluations to professional growth.

PD Compliance Tracking

Track professional development hours and compliance with state requirements. Neither iObservation nor most competitors offer this feature.

Just need basic observations
