Classroom Observation Resoures
Observation that leads to action.
Designed by educators, for educators - Culture and Rigor Evidence (CARE) was created to help leaders collect consistent classroom evidence, organize it around clear instructional priorities, and use it to guide feedback, coaching, and progress monitoring over time.
