School setup and teacher roster
The six-step setup records observer, school, academic context, and roster information. Import and preview a teacher CSV, add teachers manually, or defer the roster. Existing roster changes happen in Teachers.
The on-device workflow
Local records.
Sharing you choose.
Keep the focus on classroom evidence and coaching. Understand what LiteracyLens saves, what remains temporary, and what happens when you export.
At a glance
Three distinct parts of the workflow.
Assessment reference, saved observation, and shared report each have a different role.
- 1
Reference temporarily
Optional K–3 assessment CSV processing helps suggest an instructional focus. Imported rows and temporary analysis are not retained.
- 2
Save the observation
Save the confirmed focus, classroom evidence, ratings, coaching notes, and follow-up with the completed walkthrough.
- 3
Choose what to share
Generate a summary or selected reports, review the content, and share through your school’s approved process.
What this page verifies: The current working web demo and documented setup workflow. The demo stores records in browser-local storage and is separate from the native iPhone/iPad app. Confirm native storage, backup, encryption, and deployment behavior for the installed release with Sorvia and your IT team.
Saved work
Keep the evidence and the next step together.
Completed walkthroughs
Standard walkthroughs cover K–5; assessment-guided suggestions cover K–3. Save the confirmed focus, selected look-fors, ratings, observation evidence, coaching notes, and follow-up.
Patterns and professional learning
Dashboard, Trends, Gap Analysis, and School PD Plan use recorded information to support review and planning. The PD Plan includes ranked needs, program suggestions, and cohorts, without program prices or budget totals.
Walkthrough Guide
Open the guide without leaving an in-progress observation. Review preparation, all nine domains, rating anchors, and coaching follow-up. Checklist marks are temporary; Print / Save as PDF produces a reference copy.
In the browser demo, saved records belong to that browser’s local storage. There is no production authentication, cloud sync, SIS connection, or school-wide account service. Another browser or device does not automatically receive those records.
Assessment reference
Imported data is for temporary reference only.
The imported assessment data does not live in the application.
What is processed temporarily
For K–3, use a CSV or CSV-formatted UTF-8 text file up to 5 MB and 20,000 rows. Identifiers may be read temporarily to count unique students. The file, student rows, raw scores, counts, percentages, and intermediate analysis are not retained.
What you choose to save
Review the suggested focus, confirm or change it, or enter a focus manually. Only the confirmed instructional focus and observation evidence become part of saved work. The flow does not create an assessment repository or combine screener results with walkthrough scores.
Keep notes within the same boundary: Do not copy student names, identifiers, raw scores, or temporary assessment results into notes. Text you enter in observation or coaching fields can be saved and exported. Temporary processing does not delete the original file from the location where you selected it.
School-directed sharing
Review a report before it travels.
Select reports deliberately
Export observations, teacher profiles, gap analysis, trends, or School PD Plan individually. Choose multiple sections for one consolidated CSV. This is a report bundle that requires splitting and field mapping before import into another system.
Share a walkthrough summary
Create a Word-compatible .doc summary or a printable conference copy. In the web demo, PDF uses Print / Save as PDF. The summary can include the confirmed focus, evidence, coaching, and follow-up.
Check identifying details
Teacher-name substitution changes displayed names; it does not scrub free-text notes or guarantee de-identification. Review school names, dates, grades, evidence, and coaching text before sharing.
Manage exported copies
Downloads and print-to-PDF files exist outside the app. Where they are stored or synced depends on the folder, browser, operating system, and school settings you use. Handle each copy through approved school processes.
Day-to-day use
Local storage needs a clear school routine.
Save before leaving
Save a completed walkthrough before reloading or leaving the demo. Unsaved observations are not restored after reload. Revisiting setup does not erase the existing operational roster or reset completed demo uses.
Understand clearing and recovery
Clearing browser site data resets that browser’s demo. Reports are useful copies for review, but the current demo does not provide a full workspace backup-and-restore import. Decide what records your school needs to retain.
Separate local use from web access
The packaged working demo can run locally with its included assets. Opening a hosted demo initially requires access to its website; offline reopening of a hosted page is not guaranteed. External research links require internet access.
Protect access to the device
Use school-approved device access and management procedures. The demo has no cloud account for remote access revocation or app-specific remote deletion. For a lost device, use your school’s IT process.
This page describes application workflow, not a guarantee that a device, browser, operating system, backup service, or hosting provider never communicates externally. It does not certify the native release’s encryption or recovery behavior.
Questions
What school teams need to know
Does the current setup require a separate cloud sign-in?
No separate LiteracyLens cloud sign-in is required in the documented setup. The browser demo uses simulated activation, not a production licensing service. Confirm licensing and deployment for the native release with Sorvia.
Does importing an assessment file save student records?
The assessment file is processed temporarily to help suggest a K–3 instructional focus. Imported student rows, raw scores, and temporary results are not retained. The confirmed focus and observation are saved. Keep identifiers and assessment scores out of notes.
Will records appear on another device?
The current browser demo has no cloud sync. Records in one browser or device do not automatically appear elsewhere. Exports support reviewed sharing, not automatic workspace synchronization.
Is a report export a complete backup?
No. Reports contain selected summaries and evidence; the current demo does not offer a full workspace restore from those reports. Clearing site data removes the locally saved demo records.
Does anonymizing teacher names remove every identifier?
No. Name substitution leaves other fields and free text unchanged. Review the full report and its context before sharing.
Where can our school review procurement and privacy information?
See the Privacy Policy and DPA & Procurement page, and ask Sorvia to confirm the documentation for the release you plan to use. This workflow description is not a compliance certification.
