Using the Report Builder

The Report Builder is where a draft becomes your report. It puts Elevate's suggestions on one side and your finished report on the other, so you can shape it with confidence.

Suggestions and your report

• Suggestions are Elevate's evidence-based ideas, drawn from the lesson.
• Your report is what you build by accepting and editing the ones you agree with.

For each suggestion you can:

• Accept it to add it to your report,
• Edit the wording to match your voice, or
• Dismiss it if it doesn't fit.

Arranging your report

You can reorder items within a section so the report reads the way you want. Add your own points anytime — you're not limited to the suggestions. If Elevate didn't surface a point you want to make, you can use the Report Builder to add rubric language to your observation yourself.

What goes into the report

For the full list of sections — observation summary, strengths, areas for growth, ways to elevate the lesson, reflection questions, and internal evaluator notes — see Understanding report sections. Evaluator notes are excluded from teacher-facing PDF and print output, but remain visible to other people who can view the observation: tech admins, district leaders, and principals or assistant principals at the same school.

Tip: Treat the suggestions as a thoughtful first draft from a colleague. Keep what rings true, reword what's close, and set aside what doesn't fit. The judgment is yours.

When it's ready, move on to Exporting and sharing reports.
