Case Studies + White Papers

"The system provides a single location for the documentation of evaluation activities, teacher artifacts and communication between evaluators and teachers. It also notifies evaluators of needed actions and impending deadlines. All these elements of the SFS system promote effective communication and adherence to the evaluation program, important components of a successful implementation."

"Standard For Success has been a great fit, not only in cost and ease of use, but also in training, tech support, year-to-year data comparison, and flexibility with our changing needs. The SFS staff has always been readily available to assist onsite, online or via phone as we have questions, changes or just need clarification."

"The ability to input observations with a mobile device saves time. Edits are easy. Teaching staff has no problem with the system. The utilities and administrative functions are intuitive enough to figure out.

 

(Standard For Success) has cut my time in half on long observations. All the materials that used to be kept on file in my office—lesson plans, goals and TLO/SLO information—can be available at any time."

"The software has made the data collection and analysis the least time consuming part of the process."

"With well-documented observations recorded in real-time notes, photos and/or videos via iPads, evaluators are able to provide specific, meaningful, time-bound and actionable feedback on instructional performance. And the administrative reports for monitoring district inter-rate reliability and staff performance are especially helpful."

"From the capability to use it offline and sync it up later to the capability to see district and school-wide summaries for every domain, Standard For Success' ease of use and customer service are a great fit with our needs as a district."

"As a principal, the Customer Service and Support at Standard for Success has been outstanding to work with. When emailing a question to the team, the Customer Service and Support Team are prompt and immediate in their reply. They email clear solutions and clarifications to help answer my questions within an hour or less. In addition, the team is quickly willing to make adaptations or offer suggestions to meet specific needs. The excellent work and care provided by the Customer Service and Support Team at Standard for Success has allowed me to provide immediate and effective feedback to my staff."

"The way that Standard For Success automates much of the paperwork process and prompts our school leaders for tasks that need to be completed gives us confidence that all teachers are getting time and quality feedback for their school leader. The data coming out of the system has been the most helpful to us. We have ten locations up to an hour apart, and having Standard For Success has allowed us to compare and contrast teacher performance and school leader effectiveness across schools."

“This tool should be considered as the tool of choice for classroom and administrator evaluations.”
