Two hours of writing per teacher became fifteen minutes.

Sharda leads a New York City elementary school of roughly 410 students and 66 teachers. Formal evaluations for a staff that size used to cost her over two hours each, and the feedback still came out less precise than she wanted.

Thoughtful or timely. Rarely both.

Sixty-six teachers, formal evaluations for all of them, and over two hours of writing per teacher. Sharda kept up with the volume, but volume was the problem: the pressure to stay on schedule left no room to reflect, and the feedback came out less precise than she wanted it to be.

The harder part was translation. The Danielson Framework says what good teaching looks like in its own language, and a teacher needs it in theirs — explicit enough to act on, careful enough not to imply something she did not mean.

Not a faster typist. A second reader.

Swiftscore turns her observation notes into an evaluation aligned to the framework she already uses: strengths and growth areas named, concrete next steps attached, and the tone kept professional and supportive rather than clinical.

What Sharda describes is closer to a colleague than a tool. It reads the lesson back to her, which changes what she notices — not only what she writes.

• Observation notes turned into a full evaluation aligned to Danielson
• Strengths, growth areas and concrete next steps, in language a teacher can act on
• A supportive tone held consistently across 66 teachers

Fifteen minutes, and feedback teachers trust.

Preparing feedback now takes fifteen to twenty minutes per teacher. Every evaluation carries next steps a teacher can start on immediately, tied to what actually happened in the room.

Because the language is clear and grounded in classroom evidence, teachers read it as support rather than judgment — which is what makes the time saved matter. The hours went back into relationships, coaching, and being an instructional leader rather than an author.
