Education Walkthrough has been the best tool for evaluating teachers! We are a bilingual school which means that all of our walkthroughs and rubrics need to be both English and Spanish. The team at Education Walkthrough helped make this happen and took the burden off me as the principal to create these rubrics. I recommend Education Walthough to anyone looking for a simple, fast, reliable tool for evaluating teachers.

Nothing, the app is amazing and any concerns I do have, the app creator and [sensitive content hidden] makes the changes promptly!

Very happy, for the cost and what it does, it is amazing. A few improvements could be made to reduce bugs.

It is easy to navigate, setup and use. The feedback is compiled and goes directly to the teachers email.

There are a few bugs in the software, reordering of questions doesn't work and occasionally the app will crash and lose an observation.

After a teacher submits their EW form they can NOT click "e-mail teacher" to e-mail it to the teacher, like one would think. That method didn't work. The e-mail never sent to the teacher. We found you have to force share it by clicking the blue arrow in the upper right hand corner and then choosing what application to use to e-mail it out and then personally type in the e-mail address of the teacher you observed to send it to. This is very time-consuming not to mention caused errors. EW finally fixed the email issue we were having, but it wasn't till January. After we had school observations, I had to personally download ½ of all the walkthroughs and e-mail them directly to the teacher on the other teachers behalf. This means ½ of the people using the app find it difficult to use. ¼ of the teachers who used it that day needed their passwords reset, only I had to do it. They tried resetting their password on their own, but that didn’t work. They never received a reset link.

Education Walkthrough was the right price for our budget.

There were many challenges to setting up our account. We would reset passwords for our teachers to get them access to the program, and they still wouldn't be able to login and access it. Our school was the first ones to allow all the teachers do use the app in this purpose, so the process was clunky. The e-mail teacher button wasn’t working, we had to do a work around of sharing the pdf in an e-mail. Which made the teachers type in each others’ e-mail addresses, which was frustrating. Some teachers had to look up each others’ e-mail addresses and accidently sent them to the wrong address. Using the share feature, the videos were sending to the teachers. It sent the pictures in the PDF, but not the videos. We had teachers who couldn’t get into their own account even though they knew their password and it wouldn’t let us reset it, even though it prompted us to reset it. So, we went though the steps, but they still couldn’t get in, which was why we had to reach out to Education Walkthrough several times throughout the year. We also wanted teachers to be able to see all the walkthrough feedback they have received in their account in the app, but that wasn't a possible feature at the time. The app didn’t open for some teachers. They had to uninstall the app and reinstall the app and then it would open. I had to do that twice last year in the fall semester.

The "Education Walkthrough" has revolutionized our teacher evaluation and observation process, offering a seamlessly customizable digital form that ensures comprehensive feedback. The system's instant feedback feature, complete with predefined sentence starters, streamlines the evaluation process, fostering effective communication between administrators and teachers.

Furthermore, the tool's data tracking capabilities provide valuable insights, generating reports that highlight trends, areas for improvement, and the frequency and duration of various lessons or activities. This comprehensive approach paints a vivid picture of both the teacher's performance and the dynamics within the classroom, making the "Education Walkthrough" an indispensable asset in our commitment to educational excellence.

simple, easy to use, super easy to send feedback, customizable, saves data, can be used on a phone or tablet or laptop, can access the data from anywhere you have internet access

sticks sometimes on the save and submit part; a little tricky inputting all the teachers from a spreadsheet

I have tried a number of different observation tools, including a number that I created myself. Education Walkthrough is just about perfect for the 5-minute teacher observations that overburdened administrators need to do and wish were more useful and helpful. Education Walkthrough helps make those observations meaningful.

Easy to set up, easy to customize, easy to use, keeps track of historical data, responsive service, cross-platform capable, portable, and affordable.

There are a few customization components that I might like to see improved in future iterations. Things like how emails are generated, some of the screen management features, etc. But really, it's pretty great just the way it is.
