Observation Checklist

Observe and Measure Competencies and Performance in Real Time, On the Job

For K-12 educators and staff, there are instances when fulfillment of required competencies  - like classroom teaching skills - cannot be measured on a typical rating scale or as part of an annual review.  Use Cornerstone’s innovative Observation Checklist feature to systematically assess and monitor employee skills and performance in the field, while employees are doing their jobs.

Cornerstone’s Observation Checklist lets you assign validators or verifiers to assess competence or successful completion of tasks as employees are at work in the field. 

• Give your verifiers, validators or preceptors easy access to observation checklists and replace inefficient, paper-based processes
• Ensure that regulatory reporting is accurate and timely 
• Use pre-integrated competency models specific to certain industries
• Specifically define observation ratings and methods
