Cloud-based technology. Research-driven content. Renowned expertise. Only Pearson has the depth to offer such a powerful solution for teacher effectiveness.
Technology-enabled efficiency By streamlining the technology that fuels teacher observation and training, Pearson enables schools to boost efficiency and performance at every level. Accessible online tools. Automated processes. Turnkey reporting. Teacher Compass enables teachers and administrators to remain focused on improvements in the classroom. Customizable and flexible Schools aren’t locked in to a system that can’t keep up with changing demands. Teacher Compass is fully customizable to support your local rubrics, forms, content and vernacular. Schools can even upload their own content to create localized PD resources.
Dynamic, user-friendly reporting Teacher Compass is a goal-based platform, which keeps teachers aligned with their personal growth plans, as well as school and district requirements. Robust reporting allows administrators to quickly and easily identify high-level trends, and drill all the way down to individual teachers’ PD plans. More data for better decisions To accurately evaluate teacher performance, schools rely on more than teacher observations, student performance data, parent surveys, and peer reviews. Designed as an interoperable system, Teacher Compass can be integrated with other Pearson and third-party systems to gain a clearer picture of teacher effectiveness.
