The role of the principal has elevated from merely being a manager to being an instructional leader. The characteristics that instructional leaders demonstrate have also evolved from just conducting evaluations during set points in the year to engaging in instruction and feedback on strong instructional practices on a routine basis. Central to this daily focus on instructional interaction is classroom visits. With the heightened interest and importance of this element of instructional leadership, the gap that observe4success has filled for my network of principals is providing a digital platform to easily record visits, seamlessly document evidence, and effortlessly triangulate the themes to determine supports needed building-wide. The platform is adaptable and able to be constructed in a format that is tailored to the individual principal’s needs. This is a major plus when you think of the fluid world principals operate in. Principals want tools that are equally adaptable to their changing landscape.
While the system is great, the customer service is equally impressive. You feel like you’re their only customer because they thoughtfully meet you where you are at. It feels more personal than business. Given that we, as educators, are in the people business, this matters because relationships matter to us, and their approach to the work demonstrates alignment with this belief.
From a financial position, the cost is marginal compared to the impact of the work. In fact, it’s the best price point I have seen, and I have done business with a few. Please do yourself a favor and partner with a company who that knows the work and respects the work of a principal.

Our district chose to go with observe4success this past school year for a digital walkthrough database. The o4s staff created our accounts with one Excel spreadsheet from our IT department, created our templates based on our needs, and constantly provide any support we need. We have rarely had to call on o4s because the product works so great! This program is easy to use and helps us gather the data we need to provide support to our staff and increase student achievement.

Throughout my 20 years in education, I have used various web-based programs and found observe4success to be the best program to track data and support your staff! The in-depth forms that you, customer support, or educators across the world create allow you to track both qualitative and quantitative data that will take your school to the next level. The data you receive from the feedback forms guide you and your leadership teams to identify areas of strength and focus and assures optimal high-leverage support. Additionally, any time you have an issue it is quickly resolved by customer support. Overall, I highly recommend this program as it is a cost-effective way to organize low-inference data, communicate, build capacity, and support your staff.

With our school administrators being challenged to not only be the instructional leader of the school but the day-to-day manager, observe4success has made one task much easier. Having a grasp on classroom instruction and student engagement is vital for student and school success. Our administrators and directors reviewed three platforms for walkthroughs and decided upon observe4success. Not only is it easy to customize and utilize, but reports also allow for data to be quickly reviewed and analyzed to determine strengths and weaknesses. Customer support is ALWAYS available with very quick responses. I would encourage any educator looking to purchase a walkthrough tool, to give observe4success a look!
