Literacy Coach Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Education Walkthrough Review" January 25, 2024 5.0 Pros Education Walkthrough is a great tool for classroom walkthroughs. It allows me to input my own rubrics and criteria, keep track of the amount of time I've spent in the classroom, provide quality feedback, and then share the feedback with the teachers. It works on my computer or iPad, whichever I have accessible. Cons The only slight con to this program is that the rubrics you want to share with other personnel at your school has to be approved by the admin which can slow down the process. Other than that, no complaints! Review Source JM Julie M. Assistant Principal Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Walkthroughs for Classroom Engagement " January 16, 2024 5.0 Overall, Education Walkthrough is a time saver. I like the program in that you can adjust templates and collect data easily on what is “seen” and recorded in the classroom. Pros The program is easy to use on a laptop or through the app. Because of this, more questions can be asked of students and walkthroughs do not interrupt instruction as much in the classroom. Cons Sometimes the program or app will let you type in all the fields/boxes, then kick you out of the program and require you to sign in. This is not time efficient and sometimes does not allow you be able to record all of your original thoughts and comments due to having to type everything in again. Review Source GJ Grace J. School Counselor Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good Idea, But Flawed" January 29, 2024 3.0 Pros The app was easy to use and is customizable to set which questions/areas you would like to focus on during your walkthroughs. Cons We had a lot of functionality issues with getting signed out of the app frequently and then being unable to sign back in. Review Source DW David W. Instructional Coach Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Breaking out of silos" January 17, 2024 4.0 My experience with Education Walkthrough has been very positive, especially in getting admin and other teachers to use it as a low-key way to observe teachers in their classes. Pros The Education Walkthrough helps give some focus to what I can look for in classrooms, while also allowing for pictures/videos and free form comment. Cons The screen maneuvering for comments is a little cumbersome. Review Source JT John T. Director of Learning Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Communication Highway" January 29, 2024 4.0 I'm operating as an individual administrator currently. The real potential I see in Education Walkthrough is when a district team can collaborate, centralize, and communicate data observed. This comes with additional cost which our school has not committed to at this time. Pros Once I set up teacher emails and a couple of walkthrough forms I wanted, the process and efficiency from observation to teacher communication was excellent. Cons Upfront set-up takes some time. However, it takes time because of the customization that you can accomplish. So if you know what forms/observations you want available, the set-up time is well worth it. Review Source BH Brittany H. Academic and Curriculum Director Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Education Walkthrough" January 18, 2024 4.0 Pros I love that this platform works on both my desktop and my iPad making it easy to walkthrough classrooms with one device and finish the comments on another. Being able to save an observation as a draft is great! Cons I wish the timer was not going all the time. There are times I am refining an observation before saving it and it is counting that as time logged in the classroom. I do not like that you cannot go back and edit a past report. I wish you could copy templates easily to create a new one rather than retyping everything. Review Source MR Melanie R. Assistant Principal Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to use" January 26, 2024 5.0 I am so grateful we purchased this tool. It has my job so much easier. Pros It is easy to access on your phone or computer. It allows you to quickly do a walkthrough with out paperwork or a bulky computer. Cons The only con I have is it times out if you don't start within a certain amount of time. I have to observe for a few minutes then use the tool. It needs to not timeout so you don't have to start over. Reason for choosing Education Walkthrough It is easy to navigate. The premade questions are useful. Review Source JL Jeannette L. School Principal Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Walkthroughs Simplified" January 17, 2024 4.0 Customer support is excellent and responsive. \[sensitive content hidden\] genuinely cares about his customers! Pros I love the ease of use within the form and how swiftly the recipient receives the feedback. It makes it very easy to have a constructive conversation in a timely manner. Cons I thought more preformed templates would be available to edit and share. I created my own document and have utilized this over past few years. Reason for choosing Education Walkthrough Ease of use was the deciding factor for choosing EW. Review Source AA Adam A. Assistant Principal Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good Product" January 22, 2024 4.0 Pros I like that we can create walkthrough forms that are specific to our campus needs. It has made walkthroughs easier for us as an admin team. When we have had to reach out, support has been great to work with. Cons We have had some issues where the app did not want to work on the iPad and we had to uninstall and reinstall for it to work. Review Source KA Kelley A. Principal Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Love this app" January 22, 2024 5.0 I absolutely love it and love that it keeps records for me when it is time for evaluations! Pros I love that you can create your own templates. It is easy to use on an ipad. Teachers appreciate immediate feedback. Cons If you need to re-log in you need to do it from a computer and not an ipad. It just spins and spins. Review Source VW Valarie W. Principal Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great walkthrough tool" January 22, 2024 4.0 It has been a great tool for my campus. The templates have been great to observe specific areas being looked at. Pros Template tools- I enjoy that we can make different templates based on our needs. I like they can be shared with others on campus. Cons I would like to be able to print reports per observer of who they observed, date and times in the room. More reports would be useful. Review Source JB Jennifer B. AVID Site Coordinator Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy effective product" January 16, 2024 5.0 This walkthrough tool gives our team valuable data of areas for improvement while acknowledging the hard work our teachers are doing on a daily basis. Pros The best part of the Ed walkthrough is that it can be set up to give instant positive feedback to teachers. Cons One thing we struggle with at our site is taking videos and pictures through Education Walkthrough and then moving them to other files such as AVID evidence. Review Source AW Adam W. Assistant Principal Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Ease of Use and Adaptable " January 23, 2024 4.0 I love it. It is best on my computer. The ability to immediately send feedback saves me time. Pros The ability to create your own walkthrough tools. Cons It tends to time out on my phone or tablet if I click over to another app. Review Source SF Sam F. Assistant Principal Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Not much experience" January 25, 2024 4.0 I have not used it much. I prefer to use our state's website like I have been doing. Pros It seems to be customizable. It has easy access as it is an app on my iPad. Cons I am not used to using it. The walkthroughs I mostly do a general so I do not need a lot of specifics. Our principal had used your program before so she wanted to get it. I am not a fan of programs that you rent. I would much rather pay for an app and have it. Review Source DC Danielle C. TK-Eight Academic Director Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A Game-Changer for Classroom Observations" May 27, 2025 5.0 Overall, my experience with the Education Walkthrough app has been excellent. There was a bit of a learning curve at first when setting up the templates to fit my needs, but now that I’ve figured it out, everything runs smoothly. I really love how easy it is to create customized walkthroughs—whether using the pre-made templates or starting from scratch. The ability to quickly pop into a classroom, complete an observation, and include videos and pictures right on the spot has been a huge time-saver. This app has made my walkthrough process more efficient, organized, and impactful. Highly recommend to anyone in instructional leadership or classroom support roles! Pros I absolutely love the Education Walkthrough app! It has completely streamlined the way I conduct classroom visits. The built-in templates are fantastic and make it so easy to get started, but I also appreciate how simple it is to create a walkthrough from scratch when I want something more customized. One of my favorite features is how quick and effortless it is to do a "pop-in" visit. I can walk into a teacher’s classroom, complete the walkthrough in real time, and even include video and pictures right from my device. It saves time, keeps everything organized, and provides clear, helpful feedback for teachers. This app has truly elevated the way I support instruction and document observations. Highly recommend! Cons At first, it took me a little while to figure out how to set up the templates just the way I wanted—but once I got the hang of it, everything really clicked. Now I’m on a roll! The Education Walkthrough app has made it so much easier to stay organized and consistent during classroom visits. I love how flexible the templates are once you understand the setup, and creating a walkthrough from scratch is also really intuitive. Alternatives considered [BambooHR](https://www.capterra.com/p/110968/BambooHR/) Reason for choosing Education Walkthrough We chose Education Walkthrough because of the customer service we received from the start and price the point Review Source GM Georgia M. Director of Curriculum and Instruction Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Efficient Data Tool to Support Continuous Improvement " February 3, 2025 5.0 Overall, we are very satisfied with Education Walkthrough. It has helped us house our templates and data in one location, assists with data analytics, and strengthens our Professional Learning Communities (PLCs). Our administrators and teachers are able to use timely data to inform their goals on a regular basis. Pros Education Walkthrough is an easy and efficient tool for schools and districts to utilize to support their continuous improvement efforts. We use it as a consistent platform to house all of our district walkthrough templates and data. What I like most about Education Walkthrough is it performs the data analytics for the user, so that time is given back to strategize and determine next steps as a result of the data. Our leaders love it! Cons If I had to state what I liked least (and that is hard to do), it would be the inability for our District to easily log onto the app with single sign on. Reason for choosing Education Walkthrough Price and customer service. \[sensitive content hidden\] are the best! Review Source Richard T. Special Education Coach and Consultant Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Special Education Coach and Consultant" January 24, 2025 4.0 Very positive! I'm used to writing my own observation reports but the template format and multiple forms makes the walkthrough format quite time saving. Pros The platform is easy to use and the template provides significant guidance in writing the walkthrough report Cons You should be able to upload documents on the walkthrough form Review Source SC Stephanie C. Virtual Learning Environment Manager Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Education Walkthrough Works for Us!" January 29, 2025 4.0 Our school has moved all school-related documentation (performance reviews, audits, etc) over to EW! Pros I like that everything is customizable and that we're able to organize our departments into different schools to use EW in different ways. Cons I wish there was an easier way to delete/edit questions. I sometimes end up deleting/editing the wrong question since once you delete 1, it always sends you back to the first question in the first section. We also come across "glitches" somewhat regularly-- the app needs to be deleted and re-downloaded, licenses not applying to the correct people, emails not being sent correctly, BUT, support is always very responsive and helps me resolve issues quickly. Review Source TJ Tom J. Principal Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Elementary Observations tool" January 24, 2025 5.0 Positive. The product makes my day to day job easier when it comes to observations and walkthroughs. Pros Ease of use. Ability to design as needed. Cons There have been a couple of glitches as they have ironed out the product but the team has been great to work with. They are continually improving and adding new features. Review Source CC Christine C. Numeracy Coach Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Using Education Walkthrough in a School Building to Give Colleagues Feedback" January 22, 2024 2.0 After a teacher submits their EW form they can NOT click "e-mail teacher" to e-mail it to the teacher, like one would think. That method didn't work. The e-mail never sent to the teacher. We found you have to force share it by clicking the blue arrow in the upper right hand corner and then choosing what application to use to e-mail it out and then personally type in the e-mail address of the teacher you observed to send it to. This is very time-consuming not to mention caused errors. EW finally fixed the email issue we were having, but it wasn't till January. After we had school observations, I had to personally download ½ of all the walkthroughs and e-mail them directly to the teacher on the other teachers behalf. This means ½ of the people using the app find it difficult to use. ¼ of the teachers who used it that day needed their passwords reset, only I had to do it. They tried resetting their password on their own, but that didn’t work. They never received a reset link. Pros Education Walkthrough was the right price for our budget. Cons There were many challenges to setting up our account. We would reset passwords for our teachers to get them access to the program, and they still wouldn't be able to login and access it. Our school was the first ones to allow all the teachers do use the app in this purpose, so the process was clunky. The e-mail teacher button wasn’t working, we had to do a work around of sharing the pdf in an e-mail. Which made the teachers type in each others’ e-mail addresses, which was frustrating. Some teachers had to look up each others’ e-mail addresses and accidently sent them to the wrong address. Using the share feature, the videos were sending to the teachers. It sent the pictures in the PDF, but not the videos. We had teachers who couldn’t get into their own account even though they knew their password and it wouldn’t let us reset it, even though it prompted us to reset it. So, we went though the steps, but they still couldn’t get in, which was why we had to reach out to Education Walkthrough several times throughout the year. We also wanted teachers to be able to see all the walkthrough feedback they have received in their account in the app, but that wasn't a possible feature at the time. The app didn’t open for some teachers. They had to uninstall the app and reinstall the app and then it would open. I had to do that twice last year in the fall semester. Reason for choosing Education Walkthrough Education Walkthroughs price was very competitive compared to other programs on the market at the time. Review Source Response from Lobos Innovation January 25, 2024 Thank you for the feedback. Education Walkthrough was developed for administrators and instructional leaders to observe, document, and share feedback with teachers. As you mentioned, your school was the first to use the app for peer observations with teachers. While we hope that we can support schools in the future with peer observations, the app was not designed to support this function. We apologize for any confusion or frustration this caused you and your school. DB Dinah B. assistant principal Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great product. Very straightforward." January 16, 2024 5.0 My overall experience with the education walk-through program was largely positive due to its remarkable ease of use. Conducting informal observations with my teachers became a streamlined process, thanks to the program’s user-friendly interface. Navigating through the system was intuitive, saving valuable time during walkthroughs and ensuring accessibility for educators of varying technical backgrounds. However, the program’s somewhat limited scope in setup posed a minor drawback, as its preset parameters left room for improvement in accommodating diverse observation criteria. Despite this, the program proved to be a valuable tool for efficient and straightforward observation processes. Pros What I liked most about the program was its user-friendly interface. The intuitive design allowed me to navigate effortlessly through the observation process, saving valuable time during walkthroughs. The simplicity of the setup made it accessible for all educators, regardless of their technical proficiency, contributing to a seamless experience. Cons However, the program does have some limitations, particularly in its scope of setup. While it excelled in simplicity, I found that its flexibility in accommodating diverse observation criteria and customizable features was somewhat restricted. The preset parameters, though convenient, left room for improvement in tailoring observations to specific teaching styles or subject areas. Review Source JR Jennifer R. Principal Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Education Walkthrough for weekly observations" January 24, 2024 4.0 The "Education Walkthrough" has revolutionized our teacher evaluation and observation process, offering a seamlessly customizable digital form that ensures comprehensive feedback. The system's instant feedback feature, complete with predefined sentence starters, streamlines the evaluation process, fostering effective communication between administrators and teachers. The ability to send feedback via email and print responses for personnel files enhances accessibility and record-keeping. Furthermore, the tool's data tracking capabilities provide valuable insights, generating reports that highlight trends, areas for improvement, and the frequency and duration of various lessons or activities. This comprehensive approach paints a vivid picture of both the teacher's performance and the dynamics within the classroom, making the "Education Walkthrough" an indispensable asset in our commitment to educational excellence. Pros simple, easy to use, super easy to send feedback, customizable, saves data, can be used on a phone or tablet or laptop, can access the data from anywhere you have internet access Cons sticks sometimes on the save and submit part; a little tricky inputting all the teachers from a spreadsheet Review Source KG Kimberly G. principal Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "not thrilled with this product" January 16, 2024 3.0 It's been ok but I'm considering just creating my own Google form with the same data I use on Ed Walkthrough and doing it for free. Pros If it is working correctly, I can provide timely feedback for my classroom educators. I like that I can customize the fields for a formal or walk-through evaluation and keep and email an electronic copy. Cons On many occasions I have spent a half hour or more doing a formal classroom evaluation and filling the fields out while in the classroom. As I finish and click "send" to the teacher, the fields disappear and all data is lost. I then have to spend another half hour rewriting what I just wrote. This has happened more than five times which is a waste of my time and very frustrating. I like to give immediate feedback and these glitches keep me from doing that. It would be great to have a "save" feature, backup or "auto save" so it saves the info as it is being input. Losing ALL of the data is very upsetting. Review Source CGP Carmen Grace P. Director of Academics and Elementary School Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Simple, Fast, and Reliable" January 22, 2024 5.0 Pros Education Walkthrough has been the best tool for evaluating teachers! We are a bilingual school which means that all of our walkthroughs and rubrics need to be both English and Spanish. The team at Education Walkthrough helped make this happen and took the burden off me as the principal to create these rubrics. I recommend Education Walthough to anyone looking for a simple, fast, reliable tool for evaluating teachers. Cons Nothing, the app is amazing and any concerns I do have, the app creator and \[sensitive content hidden\] makes the changes promptly!

Review Source JI Jeremy I. Principal Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "If you haven't yet, you should try it." March 19, 2026 4.0 It's been really valuable to be able to marry our end-of-term student evaluations with the administrative walkthrough informal evaluation. I think the pricepoint is good as well. Pros Educational Walkthrough is strong in simplicity, flexibility, and consistency. I appreciate how portable it is (I use an iPad during walkthroughs) and the fact that it uploads data in a way that I can interact with it online. Cons My biggest frustration is probably the occasional connectivity issues. I'd like a bit more granular flexibility/control over email format and a few other items.
