Observation Partner is a web-based tool for K-12 school leaders to capture classroom evidence, prepare editable feedback, and track observation requirements. It turns notes into drafts aligned with Danielson Style, Marzano Style, or a district rubric. Administrators can use templates, focus areas, tone controls, revision history, and Word export for write-ups. Individual workspaces show a personal teacher roster and outstanding observations; guided school setup adds shared rosters, evaluator assignments, and building-level completion visibility. Evidence can be uploaded as PDF or Word DOCX. It works in modern browsers on laptops, Chromebooks, tablets, and smartphones, and needs internet access to generate drafts and save changes. The free plan includes 1,250 lifetime starter AI credits. Individual plans are 9.99 USD per month or 89.99 USD per year, each with a 7-day trial; School Setup is 149.00 USD per administrator per year. Observation Partner supports drafting and tracking, while the district-approved evaluation system remains the official record.
Who it is for
It suits K-12 administrators who need to organize observation evidence, prepare rubric-aligned write-ups, and track completion. School teams can use shared rosters and evaluator assignments through guided setup.
