Metrics and Visualizations

• Evidence and Opportunities: The number of times that when a Microgoal was observed, it was noted as 'Evidence' (this also includes 'Strong Evidence') or 'Opportunity'. Note that this is different from the number of teachers that have been observed, a teacher may be observed multiple times by multiple observers.  
  • Evidence Column
    % = of the times this MG was observed, this is how often it was an E or S.
    (#) = the number of times it was marked as E or S.
  • Opportunities Column
    % = of the times this MG was observed, this is how often it was an O or G.
    (#) = the number of times it was marked O or G.
  • Warmer colors = higher raw number of observations. An MG with a warm color in the Opportunities column means that more folks scored an O or a G in that category and it might be a good target for PD.
