Built for workflow
Designed around the realities of being a New Hampshire evaluator.
New Hampshire is local-control. EvalScribe is built around Danielson.
Under Ed 306 and RSA 189:1-a, each New Hampshire school board adopts its own teacher performance evaluation system, developed with the involvement of teachers and principals. There is no single statewide rubric — the Task Force on Effective Teaching offers an advisory framework, and most districts build their system around the Danielson Framework, which EvalScribe is built around.
The Danielson Framework for Teaching
New Hampshire's district evaluation systems are built on multiple measures — professional practice plus student performance — and the professional-practice piece is where most districts turn to the Danielson Framework. Its four domains organize the observed and documented work of teaching. EvalScribe maps your observation evidence to the component it supports and drafts a rating and evidence-anchored feedback in the framework's own language.
The four Danielson domains.
Planning and Preparation
Before the lessonKnowledge of content, students, and resources, and coherent instructional design and assessment planning.
Classroom Environment
The classroomA culture of respect and rapport, clear expectations, managed routines, and a space that supports learning.
Instruction
Teaching in actionClear communication, strong questioning and discussion, student engagement, and using assessment to adjust instruction.
Professional Responsibilities
Beyond the lessonReflection on practice, accurate records, communication with families, professional growth, and contribution to the school.
Multiple measures, and three teacher tracks
New Hampshire systems combine professional practice with a student-performance measure, with the balance set locally rather than by a statewide formula. Many district systems also organize teachers into three tracks — beginner teachers, continuing-contract (tenured) teachers, and teachers on an improvement plan — each with a different observation and evaluation rhythm.
EvalScribe drafts the professional-practice write-up for any of these tracks. The student-performance measure and the combination into a summative are handled in your district's system.
Rating levels.
Unsatisfactory
Basic
Proficient
Distinguished
New Hampshire does not mandate a single set of rating labels. The Danielson four-level scale is shown here; your district's adopted system sets its own labels, and EvalScribe drafts to them.
How EvalScribe handles New Hampshire evaluations
The four Danielson domains are built into the tool, each with the framework's own language and the distinctions that separate adjacent levels. EvalScribe maps the evidence from your observation notes to the component it supports and drafts best-fit ratings and evidence-anchored feedback, so the professional-practice write-up is defensible and traceable back to what you observed — ready for your district's system.
Scope of the work. EvalScribe drafts the professional-practice write-up. The student-performance measure, the combination into a summative rating, and the local process — teacher tracks, improvement plans, and the teacher-and-principal involvement Ed 306 requires — are run by your district, not the app.
Built for local systems. Because New Hampshire districts design their own systems and most build them around Danielson, EvalScribe fits districts using the Danielson Framework or a Danielson-aligned local rubric most directly. Confirm your district's adopted system, and if it would help to see a specific local rubric supported, email [email protected].
How EvalScribe works with New Hampshire systems.
A five-step path from the back of the classroom to a finished, standards-aligned evaluation.
Observe the classroom
Formal observation or walkthrough — capture what you see the way you always have.
Enter notes your way
Type, dictate, or snap a photo of your handwritten notes. Smart Scan converts handwriting to text.
Map evidence to components
EvalScribe identifies which Danielson component each note supports, across all four domains.
Suggested ratings & comments
Get draft ratings and feedback language in the rubric's own voice, across the four-level scale.
Review & finalize
Edit anything you want, finalize the evaluation, and export a clean PDF for your records.
EvalScribe runs natively on iPhone, iPad, and Mac — work where you are.
Capture notes the way you already work.
No retraining required. Whatever your walkthrough style, EvalScribe accepts it.
Snap a photo
Photograph your handwritten notes mid-walkthrough. Smart Scan OCR converts handwriting to text — even messy handwriting, even pedagogical terms.
Dictate as you go
Speak observations directly into the app. Voice dictation captures what you saw without breaking your eye contact with the classroom.
Type directly
Prefer to type? Enter notes straight into the app — they flow into the same DC-aware drafting pipeline as scans and dictation.
Why generic AI falls short for New Hampshire evaluations.
Pasting your walkthrough notes into a general-purpose chatbot might produce a paragraph that sounds polished — but for New Hampshire evaluation documentation, "sounds polished" isn't the bar. Defensible, standards-aligned evaluations are.
| Capability | Generic AI (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) | EvalScribe |
|---|---|---|
| Framework awareness | ✕No concept of the Danielson domains New Hampshire districts use. Treats every prompt the same. | ✓Built around the four Danielson domains and their component language. |
| Component mapping | ✕Hallucinates domain and component labels and invents rubric language that doesn't match Danielson. | ✓Maps evidence to the real Danielson components using the actual framework loaded into the app. |
| Local control | ✕No idea New Hampshire districts adopt their own system under Ed 306. | ✓Built around the Danielson domains, ready for your district's adopted system and labels. |
| Scope of the score | ✕Assumes the observation is the whole rating, ignoring the student-performance measure. | ✓Drafts professional practice; leaves student performance and the summative to your district. |
| Teacher tracks | ✕No awareness that NH systems treat beginner, continuing-contract, and improvement-plan teachers differently. | ✓Drafts the professional-practice write-up for any track your district runs. |
| Note input | ✕Requires you to retype everything before the AI can do anything with it. | ✓Accepts typed notes, dictation, or photos of handwritten notes via Smart Scan OCR. |
| Feedback language | ✕Vague, generic comments that could describe any teacher. | ✓Professional, evidence-anchored feedback written in the language of the Danielson framework. |
| Data privacy | ✕Free tiers may use your inputs to train public models. | ✓Enterprise-grade Microsoft Azure. Transient processing. Zero retention. Never used for training. |
| Defensibility | ✕Output you can't trace back to evidence or rubric language. | ✓Every comment is tied to evidence pulled from your notes and the component it supports. |

The best way to see it
is to watch it.
Reading about how EvalScribe drafts a Danielson evaluation isn't the same as watching it happen. The demo walks through a real observation — capture, mapping, scoring, and final export — start to finish.
The draft review screen — every comment, rating, and piece of mapped evidence is fully editable before export.

Real feedback from administrators across roles — from academic coaches to assistant superintendents.
EvalScribe is a tool that every public school principal should use. This resource literally makes multiple people out of administrators, allowing them to focus their energies on precise observation analysis and quality feedback while leaving EvalScribe to handle the mechanics. This tool will remove virtually all of the drudgery from the classroom evaluation process and would represent an excellent use of school funds.
Dr. Robert Stinson
Principal
After seeing a detailed demonstration of EvalScribe, I came away very impressed with both the concept and the execution. The platform provides administrators with a practical way to quickly capture classroom observations and generate high-quality, customized feedback that remains aligned to their evaluation framework and local expectations. What stood out most was the balance between efficiency and quality. EvalScribe has the potential to reduce administrative workload while helping school leaders provide more timely and meaningful feedback to teachers — a tool with considerable promise for schools and districts.

Assistant Principal
Evaluators spend an inordinate amount of time recording and documenting evaluations. This app is easy to use, affordable, and incredibly efficient. It cuts the time spent recording and documenting evaluations down significantly and frees us up to handle other aspects of the job. Plus, the conference suggestions save on prep time when a conference is warranted.

New Hampshire evaluations & EvalScribe — common questions.
What evaluation model does New Hampshire use?
New Hampshire is a local-control state. Under Ed 306 and RSA 189:1-a, each school board adopts its own teacher performance evaluation system, developed with teachers and principals. There is no single statewide rubric — the Task Force on Effective Teaching offers an advisory framework, and most districts build their system around the Danielson Framework. EvalScribe is built around Danielson.
Does New Hampshire require a specific rubric or rating scale?
No. The state requires each district to adopt a teacher performance evaluation system with the involvement of teachers and principals, but it does not mandate a single rubric or set of rating labels. Districts choose or build their own, and most use the Danielson Framework. EvalScribe drafts toward the Danielson levels and adapts to your district's labels.
How is student performance handled in a New Hampshire evaluation?
New Hampshire systems use multiple measures, combining professional practice with a student-performance measure, but the balance is set locally rather than by a statewide formula. EvalScribe drafts the professional-practice write-up. The student-performance measure and the combination into a summative rating are handled in your district's system, not the app.
Does EvalScribe work across New Hampshire's teacher tracks?
Yes. Many New Hampshire district systems organize teachers into three tracks — beginner, continuing-contract (tenured), and teachers on an improvement plan — each with a different observation rhythm. EvalScribe drafts the professional-practice write-up from your observation evidence for any of these tracks; the track structure and any improvement-plan process stay in your district's system.
Can I use EvalScribe if my district uses its own rubric?
Often, yes. New Hampshire districts adopt their own systems, and most build them around Danielson, so EvalScribe fits districts using the Danielson Framework or a Danielson-aligned local rubric most directly. Confirm your district's adopted system, and email [email protected] to check a specific local rubric.
Does EvalScribe replace evaluator judgment?
No. EvalScribe drafts evidence-mapped evaluations and suggested ratings. The evaluator reviews, edits, and finalizes every document. The professional judgment is always yours — EvalScribe just removes the typing.
Can the generated evaluations be edited?
Yes, fully. Every comment, every rating, and every piece of mapped evidence inside a draft evaluation can be edited before you export the final PDF. You are always the last set of eyes on the document.
Is observation data stored?
Your notes are processed transiently on Microsoft Azure and are not retained on EvalScribe's servers. Your evaluation records sit locally on your device under a local-first architecture. Your data is never used to train public AI models. For more detail, see our Privacy Policy.
How is EvalScribe different from ChatGPT or Claude?
Generic AI tools have no built-in understanding of how New Hampshire evaluates teachers. They invent Danielson components, ignore that each district adopts its own system, and produce vague comments that miss the level distinctions the rubric requires. EvalScribe is built around the Danielson framework's actual structure — and the evaluator workflow that surrounds it — from capture through final export.
Where can I read the official New Hampshire sources?
The New Hampshire Department of Education publishes the Minimum Standards (Ed 306) rule and related resources. The requirement to adopt a teacher performance evaluation system comes from Ed 306 and RSA 189:1-a, III.
Which other frameworks are supported?
EvalScribe ships with frameworks from all 50 states and Washington D.C., plus general models such as Danielson, Marzano, Stronge, CEL 5D+, NIET, and Kim Marshall. The complete list is available at evalscribe.com/frameworks.
