Teachers are able to use the Observational Checklist to gauge skills, concepts, and practices that aren't formally assessed to measure student understanding and progress. This allows for a single, organized tool to easily capture data to be used instead of having to use multiple different tools to track student progress.
The Observational Data Report is a teacher-facing report designed to provide teachers with centralized access to observational checklist data for personalized learning strategies. For details on accessing and navigating this report, see the Open Learning Observational Data Report article.
