Appraisal and Evaluation Services
Our team customizes appraisal and evaluation support for clients using the strength of collective efficacy to empower educators, build cohesive knowledge, and embrace meaningful reflective practices. Our comprehensive support is customized to align with districts’ locally approved criteria. We leverage the video resources of Educational Impact’s vast library of real teachers in real classrooms. Using authentic classroom instruction provides a rich calibration experience for our clients interested in honing their observation and data collection skills.
