Education Walkthrough has launched Report Builder, a new reporting engine that transforms classroom walkthrough data into finished reports for principals, instructional coaches, superintendents, and regional education leaders. The feature reduces the need to manually combine observation records, count walkthrough activity, or prepare separate summaries for coaching meetings, professional development planning, and district reviews.
School leaders routinely collect valuable information during classroom walkthroughs, but analyzing observations across multiple teachers, templates, and schools can take hours. Report Builder automatically pulls relevant data from matching walkthrough templates and organizes it into clear, color-coded reports that explain what the findings mean, not just what the numbers show.
“Collecting classroom observation data is only valuable when leaders can use it to support teachers and improve instruction,” said Adam Russek-Sobol, Founder and CEO of Education Walkthrough. “Report Builder handles the time-consuming work of finding patterns and preparing the report, while educators retain the responsibility for interpreting those findings and deciding what should happen next.”
Report Builder supports three core instructional leadership needs:
- Teacher coaching: Principals can review schoolwide strengths and growth areas, examine recurring themes in observer comments, and prepare individual teacher reports before coaching conversations.
- Observation coverage: Coverage and activity reports show which teachers have been observed, where gaps exist, and how frequently school leaders complete walkthroughs.
- Districtwide planning: District and regional leaders can compare patterns across schools, identify areas that may need additional support, review observer consistency, and use the findings to guide professional development.
Additional reports support growth tracking, year-end and board reporting, accreditation evidence, curriculum implementation, and grant compliance. Each report can be generated at the school, district, or regional level, allowing the same observation data to provide classroom-level detail for a principal and aggregated trends for a superintendent.
Artificial intelligence works in the background to synthesize walkthrough records, identify recurring themes, highlight frequently used language, and summarize patterns in plain terms. It doesn’t rate teachers, make personnel decisions, or prescribe an instructional response. The reports are formative tools intended to support professional judgment, coaching, and teacher growth.
Teachers receive an email with the walkthrough feedback immediately after the principal leaves the classroom, closing the feedback loop and making growth easier to review.
Report Builder is now available through the Education Walkthrough platform. More information is available at educationwalkthrough.com.
