At a glance

The school

Who they are

Kamala Kandi is an Assistant Principal at George Washington High School in Philadelphia. Her school emphasizes instructional leadership and teacher development, particularly for non-tenured teachers who require multiple formal evaluations per year. Kamala leads this process, supporting teachers and fellow administrators in ensuring feedback is clear, consistent, and aligned with district standards.

The challenge

Before Swiftscore, Kamala found it difficult and time-consuming to convert her observational notes into polished evaluations.

She typically captured feedback in shorthand during class visits—rich in content but informal and unstructured. Converting these into formal writing often required more than an hour per teacher, especially when balancing tone, accuracy, and formatting.

Without the AI, definitely you're writing it down and then you're going a second iteration as to, hey, the language also needs to be tweaked, formatted properly. Those things take time.

Kamala also noted challenges as a non-native English speaker, explaining how the rewriting process added a cognitive layer on top of the already demanding task of coaching teachers.

I'm taking down the notes in the classroom, I'm sitting there writing whatever, in whatever language. And then I push it into this—it comes out really well formatted and formal language.

What changed with Swiftscore

Swiftscore enabled Kamala to skip the second draft and go directly from classroom notes to formal feedback. The tool converted her observations—including timestamps, teacher/student actions, and instructional decisions—into polished, grammatically sound evaluations.

Kamala appreciated that the system:

• Automatically structured her writing using professional language

• Captured instructional nuance, such as student-led vs. teacher-led learning

• Offered two tone options: a friendly "teacher summary" and a directive "growth plan"

I'm liking the growth plan. I'm liking the teacher summary. I find teacher summary more informal... It looks conversational. So depending on what I need at what point, I pick and choose.

Swiftscore became more than a time-saving tool—it became a writing partner.

Results

With Swiftscore, Kamala's writing improved dramatically while her evaluation workflow became faster and smoother.

What used to take me an hour now takes five minutes—and the feedback is not only beautifully written, it's actually better than what I'd write myself.

She highlighted how Swiftscore helped her maintain professional tone without spending hours rephrasing:

This helps a lot in language… I read it through. I say, yeah, is this what I mean? And most of the time, yeah, it's accurate.

She also noted how well the tool captured her instructional perspective:

It is catching the nuances… When it gives a growth plan, it pushes the student-led growth plan. That is a good thing.

The ability to produce professionally worded feedback instantly, with options to customize tone and message, allowed her to focus more on teacher coaching—and less on formatting.

The feedback is not only beautifully written—it's actually better than what I'd write myself.

By the numbers

• 92% reduction in writing time - From 60 minutes to just 5 minutes per evaluation
