“It was really useful to be able to reflect on myself with a clear focus in mind. The reading material helped us identify what was good about our practice and what needed improving. It allowed us to choose clear ways to move our practice forward and guided us in our reflections in a way that was very useful.”
– Natalie, Oakridge Junior School

FAQs: Everything you need to know about Lesson Observations with IRIS Connect
How does video help with lesson observations?
Video transforms lesson observation into a richer, fairer, and more impactful process. It allows teachers and observers to review real classroom moments — not just snapshots — and reflect more deeply on what’s working and why. With IRIS Connect, every observation is reviewable, pauseable, and shareable, making feedback more accurate and meaningful.
Outcome: Autonomy, better insights, staff job satisfaction
Can lesson observations be done remotely?
Yes — IRIS Connect is built for flexibility. You can observe lessons live or on-demand, wherever you are. This makes it easy for leaders and coaches to support more teachers without being tied to the timetable or location.
Outcome: Flexible, scalable and less disruptive
How can I give feedback after a lesson observation?
With IRIS Connect, feedback is simple, secure, and powerful. You can leave time-stamped comments directly on the video or within a Pathway for reference in your coaching conversations.
Can I get instant feedback on lesson observations with AI?
Yes. If you choose to use it, our AI Insights tool can automatically analyse classroom videos to highlight areas of interest — such as teacher talk time, questioning styles, and interaction patterns. It gives you fast, objective insights to guide coaching and spark professional dialogue.
