Observation 360 (available on all Apple and Android devices) is the only classroom walkthrough tool with prescriptive technology. The prescriptive technology automatically recommends relevant training videos from PD 360's vast, on-demand library, based on the observation results. Observation 360 v1.5 provides graphs, notations, and customizable templates to suit your school or district. Observation 360 makes classroom observations efficient for administrators and effective for teachers.
Every question on the walkthrough, observation, or evaluation form can be linked to specific video learning segments in PD 360. Immediately following the classroom observation, teachers can view a report in PD 360 with specific video learning segments automatically assigned to them based on the results of the observation. Observation results are accessible via PD 360, with rich reports and tracking.
Observation 360 works online or offline on your iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Android phones and tablets, and PC laptops and desktops. Instructional leaders can access the templates and resources anytime and absolutely anywhere—online or offline—to provide efficient, effective observation under any circumstances. Customizable templates give instructional leaders a simple, easy-to-use tool for performing observations and walkthroughs. All of the data can be automatically sent to PD 360 upon completion of the observation where instructors can access observation results and correlated training materials.

A number of existing templates are available to observers, or districts can design their own. Custom-designed templates can have the same tight PD 360 integration as built-in templates—so that teachers can automatically be assigned appropriate PD 360 video learning segments based on the results of that teacher’s observation.
Observation 360 will not only simplify the evaluation process, but also enhance the overall effect of quality teacher professional development.
