Key Points: 
  • LINCOLN, Neb., May 20, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --Westside Community Schools, a public school district in Omaha, Neb., has partnered with Vosaic to use video more effectively for observation, evaluation, and coaching of teachers at their schools.
  • "With Vosaic, our coaches and principals can easily record and annotate videos to provide timely, highly specific and objective feedback to teachers about their practice," said Dr. Gregory Betts, Director of Professional Learning at Westside Community Schools.
  • Westside Community Schools uses a coaching rubric that is based on Charlotte Danielson's Framework for Teaching, but until they started using Vosaic the feedback provided using that rubric was separate from the feedback provided with video.
  • "It was really easy for us to add our rubrics to Vosaic, helping us combine the best coaching practice framework with the objectivity of video in one platform," Dr. Betts continued.
