Plan the walkthrough
Your roster and calendar in one place. Beacon shows who has gone longest without a visit and puts today’s stops in front of you.
For principals and instructional leaders
BeaconEvery observation should lead to growth.
Beacon helps principals capture what happened in a classroom, uses AI to organize that evidence into an instructional read, and gives you a practical starting point for the conversation that follows.
A ten-minute walkthrough should not turn into an hour of paperwork. Capture the evidence in the room, see what is worth talking about, and sit down with the teacher while the lesson is still fresh.
Card required. Nothing charged for 30 days. Includes 5 AI coaching analyses. Your selected plan begins after the trial unless you cancel.
The loop
Four steps, one visit, done before the bell.
Capture what you saw
Take notes in the room, snap a photo of the board, or record audio or video. Beacon keeps the evidence tied to the visit.
Make sense of the evidence
Beacon uses AI to organize what you captured into an instructional read: what stood out, what is worth talking about, and what to ask next.
Talk with the teacher
Walk in with evidence, a few good questions, and one next step. Save the conversation so the next visit picks up where this one left off.
Beacon Intelligence
This is what Beacon gives you after one walkthrough.
Not a rating. Just the evidence, a useful read of what happened, and a conversation you can actually have.
Evidence captured
Teacher asked students to compare two strategies. Seven students volunteered responses. Teacher followed with “Why?” and asked another student to build on the response.
What stood out
Students had to explain their thinking, not just give an answer. The teacher stayed with their ideas by asking “Why?” and inviting another student into the conversation.
A question to ask
“What did you notice about the students who were jumping in and the ones who stayed quiet?”
Try next
Give everyone 30 seconds to jot down their thinking before you ask for responses.
Saved for the next walkthrough
AI helps. You decide.
Beacon Intelligence can organize evidence against your district’s instrument and suggest how a moment may line up with an indicator. You still make the evaluation decision and choose what gets saved.
Built around the way instructional leaders actually work.
Aligns to your district’s instrument, including the Danielson Framework for Teaching, the Marzano Teacher Evaluation Model, and custom district models.
Evidence, not scores
Beacon starts with what happened in the room. You still make the professional judgment.
Audio and video capture
Record the part that matters. Transcription runs in the background while you keep moving.
Coaching conversation guides
Walk in with evidence, a few questions, and one practical next step.
Roster and coverage
Add your teachers once. Beacon keeps track of who you have seen, who you have not, and how long it has been.

Integration
Beacon and Google Calendar
Your walkthroughs are probably already on your calendar. Beacon can bring them in so you do not have to plan the same day twice.
Beacon reads your Google Calendar so scheduled visits are waiting in the app. When an event matches a teacher on your roster, you can start the walkthrough right from your schedule.
- Optional. Beacon works without Google Calendar.
- Beacon never changes, adds or deletes a calendar event.
- Calendar data is never sold, shared for advertising, or used to train AI models.
- Disconnect any time in Settings, or at myaccount.google.com/permissions.
