IRIS Connect empowers teachers

 

IRIS Connect breaks the mould of what lesson observations are about and places the teacher in control.

IRIS Connect fundamentally shifts the focus of lesson observations beyond performance management and into a tool used by teachers to support each other. 

IRIS Connect improves schools

 

The critical role of teachers, teacher learning communities and practice based training has been highlighted in a broad range of research, The Schools White Paper 2010: The Importance of Teaching and by OfSTED. 

IRIS Connect is a platform for you to deliver excellence by providing these critical features of school improvement in a cost effective and scalable model.
