Education in Louisiana
Education Landscape
Louisiana serves over 637,000 students across 72 school districts, supported by more than 34,000 teachers. The Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE) sets statewide standards for teacher evaluation, and principals are responsible for conducting classroom observations aligned to the Louisiana Educator Rubric as part of the LEADS system.
Observation Requirements
Under LEADS, teachers with fewer than three years of experience receive three observations per year. Teachers with three or more years of experience who score Highly Effective on their first observation may opt out of remaining observations for that school year, provided they meet the experience threshold. All observations are scored on a five-point scale - Ineffective, Emerging, Proficient, Highly Effective, and Exemplary - across the four domains of Planning, Instruction, Environment, and Professionalism.
Framework Spotlight
Supported Frameworks in Louisiana
Louisiana uses the Louisiana Educator Advancement and Development System (LEADS), which replaced the legacy Compass system statewide in the 2025-2026 school year. LEADS evaluates teachers across four domains - Planning, Instruction, Environment, and Professionalism - using a five-point scale from Ineffective to Exemplary. Observation Copilot maps your observation notes to the Louisiana Educator Rubric indicators so you can focus on coaching conversations instead of paperwork.
