Statewide evaluation and growth, on one platform.
Idaho needed a single, statewide way to support educator evaluation and professional learning across many districts and contexts. Evidence, reflection, and PD options were scattered — making it hard to see patterns, support educators consistently, or demonstrate impact at the state level.

What 2gnoMe does in Idaho.
The challenge
Idaho needed a single, statewide way to support educator evaluation and professional learning across many districts and contexts. Evidence, reflection, and PD options were scattered, making it hard to see patterns, support educators consistently, or show impact at the state level.
What 2gnoMe does
2gnoMe serves as the state-sponsored system for the evaluation and growth cycle, aligned to the Danielson Framework for Teaching. Educators, principals, and coaches use one platform to capture evidence, reflect on practice, and connect directly to targeted learning opportunities — across every district in the state.
Result
The state now has a consistent evaluation and growth experience across districts, with better visibility into needs and strengths at classroom, school, and state levels. Professional learning is tied directly to evidence of classroom practice — not decoupled from it.
"Implementing this new teacher evaluation system has been a game-changer. The time saved allows for more meaningful conversations, targeted professional development, and a stronger school community."
How Idaho measures the difference.
2gnoMe measures impact across four dimensions — better practice, time saved, retention, and student outcomes. All four show up in Idaho's implementation.
61% of changing ratings improve
When Idaho educators are observed across the year, 61% of component ratings that change shift upward. That directional improvement — not just completion — is the core signal that growth is real.
2h45m back per teacher, per administrator
Observation cycles that used to require manual coordination now run through a single guided workflow. Idaho educators and administrators reported significant time savings across each evaluation cycle — tracked at 2 hours and 45 minutes per teacher-admin pair.
Growth that feels fair keeps teachers in schools
When teachers understand expectations, receive consistent feedback, and see a clear path forward, they're more likely to stay. Idaho's statewide coherence — consistent frameworks, consistent feedback — creates the conditions research links to lower voluntary turnover.
Better teaching means better learning
94% engagement with targeted learning resources — not just assigned, but actively used — is the upstream indicator that instructional improvement is happening. Better practice in classrooms creates the conditions for better student outcomes statewide.
