New & Upcoming Features
Founder & CEO Chris Dunn announced TeachPoint’s newest and upcoming features based on customer feedback that will enhance user experience and add PD Tracking as a new module to our educator management system platform.- Evaluator Dashboard - Released in February, this feature addresses managing workflow—one of the biggest challenges for evaluators. All evaluators and district leaders now have a Dashboard to identify overdue, upcoming, remaining and completed activities. Users can customize the Dashboard with filters to create the view that works for them.
- PD Tracking - Users will have available a form-based tracking and management of PD tool. Teachers can maintain all their PD activities to use for re-certification. Districts or schools can schedule PD events, auto-generate certificates, and capture feedback on the event.
- Forms with Query & Auto-Calculation - Users will be able to create Formative or Summative Evaluation forms that have the ability to query and copy data such as educator goals from prior forms that will avoid the need to re-enter information. A form can now include various components of the teacher evaluation, each with a different weight percentage, that will automatically calculate the overall rating.
- SIS Integration - SAML SSO (Single Sign-On) will soon be available as an option besides LDAP/Active Directory and auto SIS update that is currently being used by users.
