For Tech Admins: Start Here

Welcome! As a tech admin, you have the keys to your district in Elevate. This checklist walks you through setup in the right order, so your evaluators can start their first observations quickly.

1. Review your district settings

Confirm your district name, your evaluation framework, and your privacy mode. These shape how everyone else works.

• Set how recordings and transcripts are handled in Choosing your privacy mode.
• Review the framework in Your evaluation rubric framework.

See District configuration for where these live.

2. Add your schools and grade levels

Create each school and set the grades it serves, so observation forms show the right options. See Schools and grade levels.

3. Invite your team

Send invites to the principals, assistant principals, and other evaluators who will use Elevate. Start with Inviting users, and learn what each role can do in Understanding roles and permissions.

4. Add your teachers

Teachers are the people being observed. Add them now, or let evaluators add them as they go. See Managing your teacher roster.

5. Hand off to your evaluators

Point your evaluators to For evaluators: start here. That's it — your district is ready.

Tip: You can change most settings later. The goal is to get your team observing, not to perfect every setting first.
