How to Finalize Observation Scores

When all observations have been completed for a staff member, a final observation score must be selected that will populate the APPR report and CSV export.

This can be accomplished in a couple of ways. The easiest way is to finalize all staff observation scores at once from the OBSeRVE Dashboard, Final Ratings view.


Note: By default, this feature is only available to those with district admin. accounts. If your district needs this feature to be available for school admin. as well, please contact the help desk at [email protected].

As shown in the screen shot, the Final Ratings view will display the status of any required observations per staff member (if that information was given to eDoctrina during rubric set up). For example, an administrator can see if any observations still need to be completed or if only a final rating selection is required at that time.

The screen will also display the calculated rating, based on observations conducted so far, so the admin. can select the proper corresponding Final Rating in the column to the right. Click on the drop-down menu in the Final Rating column to select a value:



In some districts, the Final Ratings view has been configured to display the recommended final rating with a button to confirm the score. This would have been requested during your rubric setup. If this feature has been enabled for your district, you only need to select "Save rating" to finalize the score.

Finalizing Scores through the Users Screen

If you conducted observations throughout the year by clicking on the eyeball next to a user's name on the Users screen, you may also finalize an observation by selecting the Final Rating component of the observation in the Staff Expectation filter and the selecting "Add Observation":

A summary of the observation scores will display and at the bottom of the screen, there will be a place to select a final rating using the drop-down menu.
