Observations Linked To Learning
At the heart of Educa are the “stories” that can be linked to any curriculum goals or plan, shared with parents, printed and saved as evidence of learning.
Documentation For Compliance
Educa has form builders and templates that can be tailored to meet most compliance requirements — observations, assessments, reviews, appraisals.
Professional Growth
Each educator has a private portfolio to record professional development and reflections, linked to standards. Educa also has mentoring settings to help new teachers.
Planning
Individual and group plans, lesson plans and reviews are all available in Educa, for use by individual educators or to work on in teams.
