Education in Idaho
Education Landscape
Idaho serves over 310,000 students across approximately 115 school districts, supported by more than 16,000 teachers. The Idaho State Board of Education oversees educator evaluation policy, and the state's career ladder compensation system - passed by the Legislature in 2015 - directly links a teacher's ability to earn raises to performance on evaluations conducted using the Danielson Framework for Teaching.
Observation Requirements
Under IDAPA 08.02.02.120, a compliant Idaho teacher evaluation requires a minimum of two documented classroom observations per year, with the first completed before January 1. Evaluations must also include at least one additional measure of professional practice, at least one measure of student achievement, and a summative evaluation completed no later than June 1.
Framework Spotlight
Supported Frameworks in Idaho
Idaho adopted the Charlotte Danielson Framework for Teaching (2013 Edition) as the state standard evaluation rubric for instructional staff. The vast majority of Idaho's school districts use the Danielson framework, and the state's career ladder salary law ties teacher compensation to evaluation performance. As an Official Partner of the Danielson Group, Observation Copilot maps your observation notes directly to FFT domains, components, and rating levels.

What Educators Say
Trusted Nationwide
Principals across the country describe Observation Copilot as a game changer for their observation workflow. From Texas to Maine, school leaders are saving hours every week and delivering faster, more specific teacher feedback.
Observation Copilot has been a true game changer for me. It took that piece of the wordsmithing, of having the language flow, where I could really go down and just put in the facts of what I'm seeing.
