See what's backing the rating
View the evidence tied to every rating. Understand what is actually supporting the decision not just what was recorded.
Evaluations Based on Evidence Not Opinion
Make every rating clear and based on the full picture.
RefynED helps schools see the full picture behind every evaluation so ratings are based on evidence, not opinion, with clarity early enough to act.
Calibration is not about scoring the same. It is about seeing the same evidence clearly.
What's at Risk
Schools make important decisions about teachers with incomplete evidence
When evaluations affect pay, funding, and retention, that matters. When the evidence is thin or inconsistent, those decisions are exposed.
Different evaluators
Evaluators score identically performing teachers differently creating inconsistency districts can't defend.
Not enough evidence
Ratings are submitted without sufficient evidence tied to the rubric to support the decision.
Little visibility before it's final
Leaders can't see what's missing until everything is already submitted — too late to fix.
THE REAL ISSUE
Rubrics do not create an accurate picture on their own
Schools already have rubrics. What they don't always have is a clear picture of whether a rating is actually supported. Evidence is often thin, shows up late, and varies from one evaluator to another. That is how weak evaluations happen.
Leaders are expected to stand behind these decisions but many still cannot see what is missing, what does not line up, or where there is risk before ratings are finalized
WHY NOW
The stakes have changed
The stakes have changed
Every rating shows what supports it, what is missing, and what needs attention before it is finalized.
Funding is on the line
Grant programs and federal requirements increasingly hinge on defensible evaluation data.
Retention depends on trust
When trust breaks down between teachers and leaders retention becomes the first thing to suffer.

Instantly identify gaps in evidence before a rating is finalized. Know exactly where more attention is needed.
See where things don't line up
Catch inconsistencies between evaluators early. Bring everyone onto the same page before submission.

Strong Evaluations Build Strong Cultures
When evaluations are clear and supported, people work differently
Teachers are part of the process, not just the outcome. That builds trust and keeps strong teachers in your schools.
Leaders can explain decisions.
Teachers know what matters.

The One-Hour Calibration Snapshot
A quick way to see how your current evaluations hold up using the evidence you already have. Just a clear view of what's solid, what may be at risk, and what to strengthen before you finalize.
How it works
Not a free trial. It's better.
You see what is at risk before it becomes a problem.
Before the session (Lite Prep)
Each principal selects 1-3 teachers and brings the evidence they already have.

Why it matters
Know where your evaluations hold up before they're final
It’s about knowing where your evaluations hold up and where they don’t before they’re final so you can address gaps, strengthen ratings, and act with certainty.
START SMALL
Ratings now affect pay in a bigger way
With TIA, small inconsistencies can impact compensation, making clarity and consistency more important than ever.
