A District-first Teacher Evaluation Platform Built for Schools
Lighthouse helps districts standardize evaluations, keep principals and evaluators aligned, and deliver teacher-facing reports that are easier to trust and act on.
School-first
Keep principals, evaluators, and teachers aligned in one district workflow.
Teacher focused
Support teachers with consistent, standardized evaluations that make feedback easier to trust and act on.
District Ready
Easy to integrate into existing evaluation workflows without forcing a new process.
Why districts pick Lighthouse
Replace the manual shuffle with one guided workflow for evidence capture, transcript cleanup, draft feedback, and final sharing.
Without Lighthouse
ManualCapture notes while the lesson keeps moving.
Evaluators split attention between the classroom and handwritten notes, which makes evidence harder to organize and easier to miss.
With Lighthouse
AutomaticCapture classroom evidence without losing the moment.
Lighthouse records observation details in one workflow, so audio, notes, and rubric-aligned evidence stay together from the start.

FAQ
Clear answers for districts, teachers, and evaluators.
A simple overview of how Lighthouse handles fairness, privacy, and framework flexibility.
How does Lighthouse support teacher fairness and growth?
Lighthouse keeps evaluations grounded in evidence, not guesswork. The workflow emphasizes rubric alignment, growth-focused feedback, and a teacher-centered review process that supports different instructional styles.
Does Lighthouse help reduce bias in evaluations?
Yes. Lighthouse keeps observations tied to notes, transcripts, and rubric criteria so feedback is easier to defend and easier to review. That supports more consistent conversations between evaluators, principals, and teachers.
What gets recorded during an evaluation?
Lighthouse supports audio-first evaluation workflows and avoids storing unnecessary media artifacts. The evidence trail stays focused on transcript text, rubric notes, and any supporting images or documents you choose to include.
How does Lighthouse save time?
Lighthouse eliminates the need to switch between multiple tools during evaluations. It automates scoring, documentation, and evidence organization in a single workflow, reducing administrative work so evaluators can focus on providing high-quality instructional feedback rather than managing paperwork.
How is privacy protected?
Student, teacher, and evaluation data are protected with encryption in transit and at rest, along with role-based access controls. Only authorized users can see the right records throughout the workflow.
Who creates accounts for teachers and evaluators?
Accounts are provisioned by someone inside the system, such as a district admin or Lighthouse admin. Lighthouse does not rely on front-facing self-serve sign-up for staff access.
