Anchor coaching in the authentic experiences of your teachers’ classrooms
Video-powered Observations
Make lesson observations easier by reviewing recorded lessons anytime, anywhere. This approach is more convenient than in-person drop-ins and gives teachers the opportunity to reflect on their own teaching. It also creates a solid foundation for feedback discussions, moving beyond the limitations of subjective memory.
AI-assisted Goal Setting
In just seconds, our AI Insights analyze an entire lesson using cutting-edge theories and research on key instructional strategies. It highlights pivotal moments for deeper exploration, saving you from reviewing entire lessons or relying on incomplete observations. With these targeted insights, you can focus directly on areas for growth and revisit their video context to build a richer understanding and situational awareness.
Contextualized Feedback
With time-stamped comments, teachers can share their thought process behind key moments, enriching the coaching conversation by addressing not just what happened in the classroom but why. This collaborative approach fosters a deeper understanding for both teacher and coach, creating a level playing field for meaningful discussions. The video evidence is readily available to support and guide the process whenever needed.
Bite-sized Theory & Models
The coaching process is facilitated through a streamlined Pathway on the IRIS Connect platform, providing a secure space for collaboration and progress tracking. Each adaptive Pathway supports teacher development by integrating relevant teaching theories and skill models. Choose from expert-curated mini-guides and video models, upload your own resources, or incorporate any of the 150+ WalkThrus* with ease.
*WalkThrus membership required
Low Stakes Rehearsal
To prepare for their next lesson, teachers can rehearse the discussed technique during the feedback meeting with their coach or independently record themselves practicing. This allows them to reflect, refine, and perfect the technique before using it in the classroom. With just one click, teachers can share their practice recordings with their coach for additional feedback, boosting their confidence and readiness to implement new strategies.
Seamless Documentation & Progress Tracking
With adaptive Pathways, every step of the coaching cycle—feedback, action steps, and progress—is automatically recorded in one central location, accessible anytime by both the teacher and coach. Leaders also benefit from an admin dashboard that provides an overview of all active Pathways across the organization, enabling them to offer targeted support exactly where and when it’s needed.
“At first, we used IRIS Connect just for video observations—to ease timetabling and cover challenges in coaching. But with Pathways and AI, it’s now been embedded into our coaching model and school ethos. It helps us truly personalise support for every teacher and easily adapt our coaching cycles to best support their individual development.”
– Tejinder Deeks, Deputy Headteacher, The Langley Heritage Primary
