LoTi Connection Information

LoTi Connection is an education consulting firm that specializes in using research-based metrics and practical evidence to track educator progress, assess instructional practices, and guide professional learning supports. LoTi Connection offers solutions for tracking and assessing teacher candidates completing an Educator Preparation Program (EPP), evaluating classroom instructional technology and instructional best practices with research-based metrics, and providing coaching supports and professional learning for educators in all environments. Tracking Teacher Prep The EPiC™ Key Assessment is a comprehensive performance assessment designed to evaluate teacher candidates' readiness to become effective educators. EPiC™ provides robust reporting for Educator Preparation Providers seeking an inexpensive alternative to popular teacher preparation assessments. Measuring Instructional Best Practices The LoTi® Digital Age Survey collects and reports educator self-assessment data on program perceptions, classroom technology integration practices, and the use of instructional best practices. Teacher self-assessment results can be compared with Administrator walkthrough feedback to identify gaps in support. Measuring Teacher Practice The H.E.A.T.®/Danielson Teacher Evaluation instrument uses evidence to provide formal feedback on classroom instruction at key points throughout the school year while the complementary H.E.A.T.® Walkthough tool measures interim progress informally during short classroom visits. These online observation tools provide school districts with rigorous summative longitudinal data to drive program improvement. Teacher PD Support The LoTi Support Dashboard provides access to a bank of instructional resources including self-paced PD Bytes™ online coaching modules. Each PD Byte™ module introduces a single best practice classroom strategy, offers a downloadable resource/template, and guides teachers through trying it in their own classroom.
