Compare
Rank teachers, compare two side by side, or compare your schools against each other to see exactly where the strengths and gaps are.
Track
Scores are kept year after year, so you can see who is improving and which Foreign Language Teaching skills need attention. Reports also follow each senior teacher's school.
