The OnCourse Observation and Evaluation Data System is a free, web-based software tool for New Jersey schools to manage the teacher and principal evaluation process. This powerful and flexible tool can be populated with the district’s evaluation instrument of choice and can be customized to comply with local and state mandates. This session will acquaint participants with an understanding of how the system can be used to schedule observations, including pre- and post-conferences, collect evidence, rate observations, provide feedback and produce summative evaluation reports, as well as use a mobile application to perform on-site observations and walk-throughs via a mobile device. All of this functionality is provided to New Jersey school districts at no cost and can be seamlessly integrated with their existing human resources or staff information systems.
