The Ohio SBOE uses Calibrate to assist thousands of education leaders with assessment credentialing for superintendents, principals and more. By incorporating video-based assessments paired with multiple-choice questions, principals and district leaders align their assessment criteria. This approach ensures that leadership maintains consistent and clear standards for assessing school leader and teacher performance, driving greater instructional quality across the state.

Achieving Consistency in Teacher Evaluations Across School Districts

Empower’s Calibrate is supporting thousands of educators and leaders across school districts to ensure consistent, high-quality teacher assessments.

School districts, like Manatee County (FL) use Calibrate to align their principals and assistant principals on teacher observations and assessment expectations. At the start of the year, school leaders take the evaluation to ensure they have a shared understanding of instructional standards. This enables them to observe at a consistent level for formal observations, ensuring that all assessments are aligned and expectations are clear across the district. This drives consistent teaching practices and continuous improvement.
