Built by a classroom teacher

Founded by a practicing K–12 educator with nearly 20 years in the field.

Wyoming Ch. 29 aligned

Built around the six standards Ch. 29 districts most commonly include, with the four-level rating scale.

Privacy-first

Transient processing on Microsoft Azure. Never used for AI training.

Built for workflow

Designed around the realities of being a Wyoming evaluator under a district-designed system.

The framework

Wyoming Chapter 29, handled with the flexibility it requires.

Wyoming doesn't use a single statewide teacher evaluation rubric. Instead, Chapter 29 of the State Board of Education Rules establishes the criteria a district-designed evaluation system must meet to receive State Board approval. Each Wyoming district develops its own evaluation system aligned to Ch. 29. EvalScribe is built around the regulatory pattern Ch. 29 actually requires — with a generic template covering the universal standards most district systems include, and the flexibility to handle district-specific variation.

Wyoming statewide regulatory framework

Wyoming Ch. 29 — Evaluation Systems for District and School Leaders and Teachers

Chapter 29 doesn't prescribe a single rubric. It sets the design criteria a district's locally-developed evaluation system must meet — including the requirement that systems use a performance-level rating structure, reflect "best practice" for the position, and support both summative judgment and professional growth. EvalScribe's Wyoming template covers the six standards most Ch. 29-aligned district systems include, scored on the four-level performance rating scale Wyoming districts most commonly use.

How EvalScribe handles Wyoming Ch. 29

EvalScribe ships with a generic Ch. 29-aligned template covering the six universal standards above, scored on the four-level performance rating scale. Because Wyoming districts each design their own SBE-approved evaluation system, the specific component language, weighting, and indicator names will vary district by district. The template is built to handle that variation — the rubric-aware logic that distinguishes between adjacent performance levels (particularly the Effective-to-Highly-Effective distinction, where student ownership and self-monitoring begin to drive the lesson rather than the teacher alone) applies across district variations.

The workflow

How EvalScribe works with Wyoming Ch. 29.

A five-step path from the back of the classroom to a finished, Ch. 29-aligned evaluation that fits your district's specific system.

1

Observe the classroom

Walkthrough or formal observation — capture what you see the way you always have.

2

Enter notes your way

Type, dictate, or snap a photo of your handwritten notes. Smart Scan converts handwriting to text.

3

Map evidence to your framework

EvalScribe identifies which Ch. 29 standards your notes support — and adapts to your district's specific component language.

4

Suggested ratings & comments

Get draft performance-level ratings (Ineffective through Highly Effective) and professional feedback language in your framework's voice.

5

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.

Three ways in

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 Ch. 29-aware drafting pipeline as scans and dictation.

The difference

Why generic AI falls short for Wyoming Ch. 29.

Pasting your walkthrough notes into a general-purpose chatbot might produce a paragraph that sounds polished — but for Ch. 29 documentation, "sounds polished" isn't the bar. Defensible, district-aligned evaluations are.

Capability Generic AI (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) EvalScribe
Framework awareness No built-in understanding of Wyoming Ch. 29 or district-developed systems. Treats every prompt as a generic teaching evaluation. Built around Ch. 29 requirements — six standards, four-level rating scale, and the district-flexibility Wyoming actually requires.
Standard mapping Hallucinates standard names, component numbers, and rubric language that doesn't match any actual district system. Maps evidence to the six Ch. 29-aligned standards in the generic template, and adapts to district-specific component language.
Rubric scoring Inconsistent ratings between teachers — and between sessions on the same teacher. Suggests Ch. 29-appropriate Ineffective / Needs Improvement / Effective / Highly Effective ratings based on captured evidence.
Level distinctions Defaults to generic "good/great" framing that misses the Effective-to-Highly-Effective distinction Ch. 29 districts actually require. Rubric-aware scoring that meaningfully distinguishes between adjacent performance levels in your district's own terms.
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 voice of Ch. 29-aligned rubric standards.
Evaluator workflow No concept of walkthroughs, formal observations, or pre/post conferences. Built around the actual evaluator workflow, from capture to final exported PDF.
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 Ch. 29 standard it supports.

This is amazing. I would pay lots of money for this. I’m serious — it’s crazy good. I look forward to using it on a regular basis next year.

Kittie Brown

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.

Frequently asked

Wyoming Ch. 29 & EvalScribe — common questions.

Does EvalScribe support Wyoming Chapter 29?

Yes. EvalScribe ships with a Ch. 29-aligned generic template covering the six standards most Wyoming district evaluation systems include, scored on the four-level performance rating scale (Ineffective, Needs Improvement, Effective, Highly Effective). Because Wyoming districts each design their own SBE-approved evaluation system, the specific component language will vary district by district — EvalScribe's underlying rubric-aware logic is built to handle that variation.

Where can I read the official Wyoming Chapter 29 rules?

The official Chapter 29 rules are maintained by the Wyoming Department of Education (WDE) and the Wyoming State Board of Education. Primary sources:

WDE Teacher & Leader Evaluation
Chapter 29 Rules (PDF)
Statutory authority: W.S. 21-2-304(b)(xv) and (xvi).

My district has its own specific evaluation system. Will EvalScribe work for us?

That's the way Wyoming works — every district designs its own SBE-approved evaluation system aligned to Ch. 29. EvalScribe's generic template covers the universal Ch. 29 standards (planning, delivery, assessment, environment, professional responsibilities, growth) that most districts include. For districts whose system uses different standard names, weights, or indicator language, the underlying rubric-aware logic still applies. If your district wants tighter alignment to its specific rubric, reach out to [email protected] and we'll talk through what that looks like.

Does EvalScribe replace evaluator judgment?

No. EvalScribe drafts evidence-mapped evaluations and suggested performance-level ratings. The evaluator reviews, edits, and finalizes every document. The professional judgment is always yours — EvalScribe just removes the typing.

Does Wyoming require student growth data in teacher evaluations?

The 2019 revision of Ch. 29 (following HEA0061) removed the strict requirement that evaluations use student growth data measures, giving districts more flexibility in how they incorporate growth evidence. Many Wyoming district systems still include a student growth standard, which is why EvalScribe's generic template covers it. Whether your district uses growth measures, and how, is a district-level decision — EvalScribe accommodates either approach.

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.

Does EvalScribe support walkthroughs as well as formal observations?

Yes. Brief walkthroughs and full formal observations both flow through the same capture-and-draft pipeline, so the documentation produced is consistent across observation types — regardless of how your district's specific system handles observation cycles.

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 Wyoming Ch. 29 or the way Wyoming districts design their own evaluation systems. They invent standard names that don't exist, score inconsistently, and produce vague comments that miss the Effective-to-Highly-Effective distinction Wyoming districts require. EvalScribe is built around the actual Ch. 29 framework structure — and the evaluator workflow that surrounds it — from capture through final export.

Is EvalScribe available for iOS and macOS?

Yes. Individual evaluators can download EvalScribe from the Apple App Store on both iOS and macOS, with a free trial that includes three evaluations.

Can schools or districts purchase licenses for multiple evaluators?

Yes. School-wide licensing starts at three or more evaluators ($90/user/year), and district-wide licensing is $80/admin/year. When you order, EvalScribe issues a unique access code that you distribute to your evaluators — no separate provisioning required. Email [email protected] to get started.

Which other state 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.
