Sharda Flores is the principal of a public elementary school in New York City serving roughly 410 students and 66 teachers. She leads with a strong focus on instructional leadership, guiding her team to support teacher development and student achievement. With multiple formal evaluations required across her teaching staff, Sharda sought ways to provide better feedback, faster—without sacrificing quality or trust.

Before using SwiftScore, Sharda often spent over two hours per teacher writing evaluations and preparing coaching notes. Despite her best efforts, the feedback often lacked precision, and the pressure to keep up with volume left little room for reflection. She also found it difficult to consistently translate the Danielson Framework into language that teachers could easily understand and act on. As she described it: "Sometimes you overlook the minuscule things... you have to make sure you're not implying things with teachers. You have to give them explicit guidance." The demands of the job made it hard to deliver feedback that was both thoughtful and timely—two essential ingredients for helping teachers grow.

With SwiftScore Eval, Sharda gained more than a productivity boost—she gained a thinking partner. The tool transformed her observation notes into fully aligned evaluations that: • Identified teacher strengths and growth areas • Provided concrete, actionable next steps • Maintained a professional, supportive tone
