AI agent for headteachers
Lesson Observation Feedback Cycle Agent
Every teacher observed each term with specific next steps followed up
What it does
School leaders observe lessons and agree development steps with teachers, but cycles drift and next steps are often too vague to check. This agent schedules observations from the timetable and leave calendar so every teacher is seen at least once a term. It collects observation notes and drafts feedback that links strengths and next steps to the school's teaching framework. It checks that each next step names a visible change; vague ones go back to the observer to sharpen. The leader approves feedback before it reaches the teacher. The agent then books a follow-up visit and checks whether the step was met; if not, it suggests coaching or training. Edge case: a teacher is on leave during the observation window, so the agent reschedules and keeps the cycle balanced across the term.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
