LoTi Observer Walkthrough Tool

The LoTi Observer is an online tool that automatically calculates a teacherʼs LoTi Level based on an administratorʼs recorded walkthrough observations using an iPhone/iPad/iPod touch PDA. The LoTi Observer provides a powerful system for mobile data collection and analysis of LoTi-related behaviors in the classroom. Unlike traditional classroom evaluations, LoTi Observer uses the H.E.A.T. Observation Form to focus on the key components of 21st Century skills as they apply to the learner; otherwise known as H.E.A.T.—Higher order thinking, Engaged learning, Authentic connections, and Technology use.

An administrator using the LoTi Observer can:

  • download the program to an iPhone/iPad/iPod touch PDA
  • load the teachers to be observed on the device
  • conduct observations in a classroom
  • upload the observations to their LoTi account
  • print out observation reports
The purchase of the LoTi Observer includes the online LoTi Observer tool and the companion LoTi Observer application for the iPhone/iPad/iPod touch PDA.
 

Custom Walkthrough Forms

Are you already using a specific walkthrough form? No problem! For a one-time customization fee, LoTi will create a customized walkthrough form for your group that records your specific information alongside the H.E.A.T. look-fors. Your customized form will generate reports that include a H.E.A.T. analysis, a LoTi score, a CIP score, and the responses to your unique look-fors.

Data Collection Strategies

A critical component of the LoTi Implementation Model is data gathering for approximating the LoTi (Appendix A) and CIP (Appendix B) intensity levels of classroom teachers. This data is often used to make pre/post comparisons of a target teacher’s LoTi and CIP levels along with student achievement indicators (e.g., high stakes tests, benchmark assessments).
