weCLIMB Mobile
weCLIMB Mobile Overview
What the weCLIMB mobile app does, who it is for, and how the Home screen and side menu are laid out.
Roles: for everyone. Observers and coaches conduct observations and manage coaching; teachers reflect, acknowledge, and follow their coaching.
The weCLIMB mobile app puts the classroom side of weCLIMB on your phone. An observer can start an observation at the classroom door, score the form, and submit it before the next visit. A teacher can read the observation, write a reflection, and acknowledge it from the same phone that received the notification. Coaches can see their roster and assign action steps from a walkthrough.
Everything you do in the app is saved to the same Master Teacher account you use on the web. An observation saved on your phone appears in your observation lists on the web, and the other way around.
The app needs a network connection; see No offline mode.
Getting the app
Section titled “Getting the app”The app is available for iPhone and iPad from the App Store, and for Android phones and tablets from Google Play. Search for weCLIMB, install it, and sign in with your Master Teacher account. See Signing In to the Mobile App.

The Home screen
Section titled “The Home screen”After you sign in, the app opens on Home. The cards you see depend on your roles.
If you observe or coach:
- Your roster shows how many of your coaching cycles are overdue and due soon, and lists up to three teachers who are overdue. When you have teachers on your roster and none is overdue, it reads “You’re all caught up. Nice work.” Tap the card to open My Roster.
- Your observations counts your open observations and splits them into Needs you (Finish & submit, Close out) and Waiting on teachers (Reflection, Acknowledgment). Tap a row to open the Observations list filtered to that status. The card is hidden when you have no open observations.
- Start an observation opens the window where a new observation begins. See Starting an Observation on Mobile.
If you are observed:
- Your coaching shows your current action step from your coach, or “No active action steps right now.”

The tabs
Section titled “The tabs”The bar along the bottom has up to three tabs:
