Based on what I marked off, I could have a discussion with the teacher that really highlights the specific questions or responses that they had and how that had an impact on student thinking. That could be something we would work on together. The tool helps me to focus in on the specific practices instead of just having to talk about general ideas.

We [currently use] a quick checklist focused on “are you executing with fidelity” while this app is more “what’s the quality of your execution?” Not just, “are you doing this,” but “is it quality?” I feel like this [app] could replace that because it’s so aligned to our math model.

I feel like it’s helped me get a better idea of this specific teacher’s strengths and weaknesses and the things that she’s really good at during her lessons and areas for growth…I don’t know if I would necessarily pick up on those things…without the prompts that the app gives.
