About Her School
In Philadelphia's Network 9, instructional leadership is expected to be both rigorous and reflective. But with only one content-focused coach for 15 schools, Lorenea Meskill had to find ways to maximize impact across multiple teams—each with varying experience levels and documentation styles. From assistant principals to teacher leaders, Lorenea supported them all in developing strong coaching systems, walkthrough practices, and alignment with the district's Danielson Framework and EL 3–5 rubric. What she needed was a platform that could bring consistency, intelligence, and visibility to walkthroughsalignment with the district's Danielson Framework and EL 3–5 rubric. What she needed was a platform that could bring consistency, intelligence, and visibility to walkthroughs—without adding complexity.
The Challenge
Prior to SwiftScore, walkthroughs were recorded on paper or in spreadsheets, and PD reflections were often stored separately from trends and coaching notes. Some leaders typed directly during observations, others relied on handwritten notes. There was no central tool that allowed: • Rubric-aligned scoring across schools • Centralized trend tracking at the school level • Efficient creation of coaching plans based on real data "Our leaders were diagnosing symptoms without addressing the underlying issues. We needed a way to go deeper—together."
The Solution
Lorenea integrated Eval by SwiftScore directly into her workstream, using the platform to: • Simulate walkthroughs with real observation scenarios • Track teacher scores longitudinally to monitor growth • Create AI-powered coaching reports tailored to building trends • Align all leadership coaching to district-approved rubrics
With SwiftScore, even minimal observation notes produced high-quality evaluations. Components like "structured protocols", "learning targets", and "differentiated scaffolding" were automatically surfaced through the platform's intelligent analysis engine. "It's so detailed and accurate. This is the kind of feedback I want leaders to internalize and use." "Now, coaching conversations aren't just reactions—they're guided by consistent insights."

Results

SwiftScore is now fully embedded into Lorenea's work with Network 9 leadership. She uses it to prep for PD, model best practices for walkthroughs, and support leaders across schools with:

• Fictionalized but realistic walkthrough scenarios that align with district frameworks • AI-generated summaries and growth paths for faster, smarter coaching • School-wide dashboards showing trend data across multiple teachers • Flexible input methods—principals can type in real time or upload handwritten notes

"This isn't just about a tool—it's about alignment. Principals now speak the same language when giving feedback."
