Participant labels are expanded by default, giving you immediate visibility into who’s involved

Group Event Creation for Boost: Coach
15th October, 2025
Coaching time is precious—and every minute spent clicking, duplicating, and recreating the same event for multiple teachers is a minute taken away from meaningful instructional support. That’s why we’re excited to introduce a new workflow that helps coaches focus less on setup and more on what matters most: high-quality, personalized coaching conversations.
Our latest Boost Coach update brings Group Event Creation to the Caseload dashboard, making it easier than ever to schedule events for entire groups of teachers in just a few clicks.
Previously, coaches had to create teacher interaction events one at a time—even when the sessions were identical across a group for PLCs or other group coaching events. Now, you can simply group teachers on your Caseload dashboard by grade or tag and schedule an event for all selected teachers at once.
This streamlined experience eliminates repetitive steps, improves efficiency, and helps coaches stay organized without sacrificing the individualized coaching Boost Coach is built on.
Flexible Titles for Coaching Events
3rd October 2025
Your calendar, your way! 🎉
With Flexible Titles in Boost Coach, coaches can now rename events in Boost to make them more meaningful and personal—without losing the consistency needed for reporting.
Whether it’s changing “Admin Meeting” to “Weekly Team Huddle” or giving a teacher interaction a title that helps you remember the context, you’re in control. Titles can be updated when creating or editing events, while the event type still connects to reports like Coaching Momentum behind the scenes.
This update makes calendars clearer, more practical, and better aligned with the way coaches actually work day-to-day.
Filter Insights by Staff Member
4th September, 2025
Making sense of data should be simple. With our new Insights button, you can now jump straight from a staff member’s profile into an Insights view that’s already filtered to their data.
This means you can quickly see goals, focus areas, and progress at the individual level—without losing the bigger picture. Leaders and coaches can now move easily between day-to-day activity and data-driven insights, helping decisions feel clearer and more connected.
Coach Responsibility Duplication
4th September, 2025
Coaches often repeat the same duties each week—like coverage, meetings, or supervision. The new Duplication feature makes scheduling these responsibilities much faster.
Instead of re-creating them one by one, you can set up a Coach Responsibility once and copy it forward daily (up to a month) or weekly (up to three months). It’s a small change that saves time and helps coaches spend less energy on admin work and more on supporting teachers.
Coach comes to Boost!
August 1, 2025
Coaching is most powerful when the right tools support consistent, purposeful relationships. With the launch of Boost Coach, we’re bringing the best of TeachBoost Coach directly into Boost—alongside new functionality designed to help coaches stay organized, track progress, and elevate the impact of their work.
These new tools combine familiar features like Sketch forms and reporting with purpose-built pages that make it easier to manage caseloads, document growth, and celebrate success.
Caseload Dashboard
The new Caseload Dashboard gives coaches a clear tactical view of their work. Each staff member in a coach’s caseload is displayed along with their most recent activity and what’s coming up next. This makes it simple to stay on top of relationships and plan meaningful next steps.
Coaching Momentum Report
The Momentum Report makes coaching time more visible. Coaches can now log both teacher interactions and other responsibilities—such as PD training or data collection—and see them broken down in clear visual reports. Pie and bar charts display how time is spent across cycles, informal interactions, and responsibilities, helping leaders showcase coaching’s value and allocate resources effectively.
This report is a powerful tool for making the “invisible work” of coaching more transparent, ensuring programs can sustain and grow their impact.
Dynamic Coaching Cycles
Coaching is often structured around cycles of reflection, action, and growth. The new Dynamic Coaching Cycles feature allows instructional coaches to configure cycle phases that match their district’s model, assign activities to phases, and track progress over time.
Cycles can include goals, next steps, and events, all organized in one place. Coaches can see how activities break down across phases, track cycle length, and celebrate completions. This flexibility supports a variety of coaching approaches, from individual to group models.
Together, these new tools make Boost Coach a comprehensive home for coaching. By bringing everything into one place, we’re making it easier for coaches and leaders to focus less on managing systems and more on fostering meaningful professional growth.
Overview Dashboard for Administrators
July 14, 2025
Administrators at the school and district level now have a clearer way to see what’s happening and where their support is most needed. The new Overview Dashboard offers a streamlined tactical view of activity—helping leaders quickly spot what’s been completed and what comes next.
While the flexibility of custom dashboards has been valuable, this new design focuses on simplicity, accessibility, and efficiency. By standardizing dashboards across Boost, leaders can feel confident they have the right information at their fingertips without needing to configure or maintain multiple views.
Profile Page
July 14, 2025
We’ve combined two similar pages—the “classic” profile, and the Level 1 dashboard—into a single, unified profile experience. This reduces extra clicks, decreases confusion, and makes it easier to find what matters most!
The new Profile Page is built to support both individual coaching and team facilitation. Staff members can quickly see recent activities and items to complete, while coaches and leaders can view progress in one consistent format. This helps everyone stay aligned and focused on growth.
A New Look for your Calendar
July 14, 2025
Staying organized is essential, and your Boost calendar just got a major upgrade. The redesigned Calendar page brings a clean, accessible look that makes it easier than ever to see what’s coming up and stay on top of key activities.
In addition to its updated design, the new calendar is built for smoother integrations. Until now, Boost events could only be exported directly to Google Calendar. With this update, Microsoft users can now seamlessly connect their calendars too—making sure important meetings, observations, and next steps appear where you already plan your day.
By combining improved accessibility with broader integrations, the new Calendar ensures that keeping track of your work in Boost fits naturally into your existing schedule and tools.
Accessible Navigation
December 3rd, 2024
Navigation to different pages within Boost has just been made easier! More pages are now immediately accessible on the left-hand navigation panel, which puts dashboards, lists and reports right at your fingertips.
The new navigation functionality and layout is also more accessible for keyboard and screen reader navigation, while the navigation panel itself may be collapsed to make better use of the app on smaller screens.
Language Updates
September 25th, 2024
Boost is a flexible app that is used by organizations for all types of staff development programs—both coaching and evaluation, and everything in between.
As we look towards the future, we want to ensure that we’re a welcoming space for all organizations and development programs. As such, the language that we use throughout the app needs to be neutral and inclusive for all.
We’ve recently made a few changes that you might notice across the app to reflect the growth mindset we’d love Boost to facilitate for you and your organization:
- The ‘Performance Summary’ report is now the Insights Summary.
- Framework ‘competencies’ are now Focus Areas.
- ‘Ratings/Scores’ are now measured on a Practice Continuum, rather than a rating scale.
Note: These updates also anticipate future changes to the Insights Report that will incorporate all types of insights—goals, next steps, events, resources, and form evidence—that are associated with your organization’s focus areas. More to come on this soon!.
Versatile Next Steps
August 13th, 2024
We understand that growth comes from sustained, incremental actions taken over time. The Next Steps feature within Boost now empowers coaches, leaders, and educators alike to craft high-leverage actions to take on professional journeys.
Whether a Next Step is a well-framed action designed to move the needle on a small yet vital part of practice, or it provides a curated resource to provide context and guidance for staff—or both!—the new functionality enables those opportunities to boost development.
Adding focus areas
Next steps created on dashboards, profile pages, goals and even Sketch forms may now be associated with focus areas of your framework (/rubric) to show where and how supports are being delivered to staff. By linking specific actions to designated focus areas, it becomes easier to track progress, identify areas needing attention, and ensure that efforts are aligned with the overarching goals of your organization.
Adding resources
Until now only resources added to your organization's curated Resource Library in Boost could be attached to a Next Step. Now, attachments from Google Drive, your computer, or weblinks may be added. The seamless integration of diverse resources within Next Steps ensure that the most relevant and up-to-date information may be used to support growth and development.
We are Boost!
April 9th, 2024
As part of the SchoolStatus suite of products, TeachBoost Pro is now SchoolStatus Boost. As part of this rebrand, we have updated our login page and headers across the app.
All the functionality you know and love remains in Boost—just with a fresh new look!
You can read more about SchoolStatus Boost in our recent blog post.
Summative Design Refresh
March 15, 2024
Whether you're a school leader creating, editing and sharing a summative, or a teacher/staff member viewing and signing your own summative, everyone accessing summative pages needs all information clearly displayed and actions easily accessible.
This redesign of the summative page ensures that actions to be taken are all accessible at the top of the page (through buttons, brand new tabs, and the Actions menu).
The actions already taken are also now displayed prominently (e.g. adjustments to status throughout the summative journey from creation through to sharing and signing) with a new color-coded header, descriptive labels, and an indicator on the signature tab to show the number of e-signatures already applied.
Summative authorship
January 30, 2024
To help you keep track of summative activities from start to finish, summatives now have explicitly named authors. The author of this activity will have full edit-rights to its contents and, upon sharing, will have a dedicated signature line.
If your organization conducts summative activities within Boost, school leaders will now see an invitation to claim summative authorship when accessing the preview.
Note: Authorship can be switched out as needed, just click to open the Actions menu at the top of a summative page!
Sorting the Activity Progress Dashboard
January 19, 2024
The Activity Progress Dashboard serves as a centralized tool to keep track of progress and stay organized. By using this dashboard, school leaders can easily access information about completed tasks and upcoming activities, ensuring that nothing falls through the cracks.
This new feature allows you to sort the 'By', 'About', and 'Status' columns to focus in on which activities are yet to be actioned, with the default view showing those activities that are not yet started so you know where to offer support and guidance.
The Activity Progress Dashboard needs to be configured to your organization's requirements. Please contact us if you'd like to explore this feature!
