Smarter tech for teacher development that actually works

An illustration representing CPD

IRIS Connect gives schools a way to deliver meaningful, tailored professional development at scale, using tools that are smart, flexible, and genuinely useful

Once known mainly for classroom video capture, IRIS Connect has evolved into something even more impactful: a fully integrated platform for teacher development that fits right into your school’s coaching model, reflection routines, and CPD strategy. You still get powerful video, but now it’s just one part of a system designed to make teacher learning personal, collaborative, and easy to embed.

You don’t need to reinvent your timetable or overhaul your approach. Whether you’re coaching new teachers, supporting experienced ones, or trying to spread good practice across a trust, this technology helps you do it more efficiently and effectively.


“What I like about IRIS Connect is that we now start with coaching, not catch-up. In the past, the first 30 minutes of a coaching session were spent discussing the lesson and the actual coaching barely got off the ground. Now, all the preparation happens beforehand – you already know what the coachee has reflected on, what the AI picked up; you’ve both watched the lesson recording, added timestamps and made notes, and when the session starts, you can dive straight into coaching and make the most of your valuable time.”

For schools juggling tight timetables and big goals, this kind of tech isn’t just nice to have. It’s essential if you want PD that sticks. Here’s what you get today:

1. Adaptive pathways

Teachers follow clear, expert-built frameworks in a private online space, reducing cognitive and logistical demands by answering one simple question: “What should I do next?” Every step is designed to support meaningful progress, whether they’re reflecting solo, working with a coach, or sharing strategies across departments.

2. Smart video tools

Teachers can record, review, and securely share their lessons with ease. It cuts the cost and complexity of observation while opening up space for better feedback, deeper reflection and meaningful professional conversations.

3. AI-powered insights

Just one click gives teachers a detailed analysis of their lesson. It helps spot patterns, highlight strengths, and pinpoint where to focus next – making every review more focused and actionable.

4. Built-in technique guides

Over 120 teaching techniques backed by research and packed with classroom video models help teachers build a clear picture of effective practice. Each one supports better prep, reflection, and implementation.

IRIS Connect is fully customisable. You can create your own learning journeys, align resources with your school’s language and frameworks, and tailor AI analysis to your unique goals.

The original version of IRIS Connect solved practical problems like scheduling and cover for observations. But the latest version goes much further. It lets schools support every teacher’s development in a way that’s tailored, ongoing, and grounded in evidence.

Tools like Pathways, AI analysis, technique guides and video models don’t just improve feedback; they shape better habits and help build a culture of continuous school improvement.
