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.

My overall experience with the education walk-through program was largely positive due to its remarkable ease of use. Conducting informal observations with my teachers became a streamlined process, thanks to the program’s user-friendly interface. Navigating through the system was intuitive, saving valuable time during walkthroughs and ensuring accessibility for educators of varying technical backgrounds. However, the program’s somewhat limited scope in setup posed a minor drawback, as its preset parameters left room for improvement in accommodating diverse observation criteria. Despite this, the program proved to be a valuable tool for efficient and straightforward observation processes.

What I liked most about the program was its user-friendly interface. The intuitive design allowed me to navigate effortlessly through the observation process, saving valuable time during walkthroughs. The simplicity of the setup made it accessible for all educators, regardless of their technical proficiency, contributing to a seamless experience.

However, the program does have some limitations, particularly in its scope of setup. While it excelled in simplicity, I found that its flexibility in accommodating diverse observation criteria and customizable features was somewhat restricted. The preset parameters, though convenient, left room for improvement in tailoring observations to specific teaching styles or subject areas.

Overall, Education Walkthrough is a time saver. I like the program in that you can adjust templates and collect data easily on what is “seen” and recorded in the classroom.

The program is easy to use on a laptop or through the app. Because of this, more questions can be asked of students and walkthroughs do not interrupt instruction as much in the classroom.

Sometimes the program or app will let you type in all the fields/boxes, then kick you out of the program and require you to sign in. This is not time efficient and sometimes does not allow you be able to record all of your original thoughts and comments due to having to type everything in again.
