Observe & take notes

2

Copilot organizes & aligns

Copilot structures your notes into framework-aligned feedback with strengths, areas for growth, and next steps.

3

Review, edit & share

Review the draft, make any edits, and share actionable feedback with your teacher - often the same day.

Tools for the entire coaching cycle, not just the write-up

Align to all state and district frameworks

Supports any teacher rubric used by your school or district, including the Framework for Teaching (FFT). District partnerships add a real-time insights engine to track initiatives and answer questions across all schools.

Safe and secure

We have over a decade of experience in education and are committed to protecting your data. Learn more about how we keep your notes private and secure.

Get structured feedback for every visit

Turn notes from any classroom visit - a 5-15 minute walkthrough or a full formal observation - into actionable, framework-aligned feedback uniquely tailored to each teacher in seconds.

Next steps for teachers

Framework-aligned, research-backed next steps for each teacher - clear, practical, and always based on your observation notes.

See growth over time, not just one lesson

Bring your observations of each teacher together into one framework-aligned picture of how their practice is growing across the year - so you walk into every coaching conversation with the full story, not just the last visit.

Record lessons & auto-transcribe

Upload audio from any lesson and get an automatic transcript - giving the AI a richer picture of what happened in the classroom.

Upload lesson plans & documents

Attach lesson plans so the AI can compare what was planned against what was observed.

Customize every analysis

Tweak feedback to match your style - set tone, length, or upload a writing sample so feedback matches your voice.

Hear from School Leaders

"Observation Copilot has helped me to streamline and speed up the teacher feedback process. I'm able to organize the notes that I take during the lesson into summaries about the different dimensions while I get straight to the work of rating the lesson on the rubric."

Common Questions

Can I just use ChatGPT or Gemini to write observation feedback?
You can paste notes into a general AI assistant and get back a tidied-up paragraph, and for a one-off that may be enough. But a general chatbot does not know your district framework, does not remember the teacher you wrote about last month, and leaves every principal doing it differently. Observation Copilot is built for classroom observation: it aligns feedback to your framework, tracks how each teacher is growing across the year, gives concrete next steps ready to share, and keeps teacher and student data in a tool built for schools.

What is the difference between a walkthrough and a formal observation?
A walkthrough is a short, informal classroom visit, often 5 to 15 minutes; a formal observation is a longer, scheduled one tied to your evaluation framework. Observation Copilot handles both the same way: you take notes and it turns them into framework-aligned feedback you can edit and share the same day. Both are unlimited on the free plan.
Can I track how a teacher is growing over time?
Yes. Beyond writing feedback for a single visit, Observation Copilot brings your observations of each teacher together into a framework-aligned summary of how their practice is developing across the year, so you can prepare for a coaching conversation with the full picture instead of re-reading every past note.
