Attendance is counted.
Practice isn't.
Observation costs make systems optimise for what is easy to report, not what matters.

Most professional development measures attendance. We measure what changes in the classroom—and build from the evidence.

Observed classroom change after conventional teacher development01 / The transfer problem
Education systems invest heavily in teacher development and count attendance because classroom practice is expensive to observe.
Across four years of longitudinal evidence, we found that roughly one teacher in eight showed observable, sustained change in classroom practice.
showed observable, sustained classroom change after conventional professional development.

Sustained observation and feedback change practice, but human cadence remains scarce.
Millions of teachers must be developed—not replaced—as demand keeps growing.
02 / The engine
TeachingQuotient reads lesson plans and listens to classroom practice—in Urdu, English, Bahasa and Arabic—then returns structured, rubric-based feedback once available only through expensive human observation.
A lesson plan, voice note or classroom recording—with consent, in their language.
Against research-derived rubrics, validated locally and calibrated by language.
Private feedback, concrete next moves and an optional human coach in the loop.
Aggregate cohort evidence, never covert individual performance scores.
Structured feedback on inquiry, conceptual accuracy, engagement and assessment alignment—minutes after a teacher shares a plan.
A recording becomes private coaching on question quality, talk-time balance and observable teaching routines.
Caseload prioritisation and cohort intelligence for master trainers—multiplying scarce human coaching, never replacing it.
“TQ is your private coach,
not a policing system.”Our first product ruleTeachers own their data. Feedback is confidential by default. Leaders see cohorts, never covert individual scores.
03 / The evidence engine
In a market crowded with AI promises, every number we publish carries a status. Evidence earns the claim—not the other way around.
Four years of longitudinal classroom implementation data from the Holistic Science Teaching Fellowship: 350+ teachers across eight countries.

05 / The trust architecture
Sharing is visible, revocable and private by default.
Cohort patterns without covert individual surveillance.
Validation studies are published whether results flatter us or not.
Data stays where the law—and trust—say it should.
