How do you know if what you’re doing with EdTech is working? And how do you discover the most important actions to prioritize if you want to keep improving outcomes?

The free SMART EdTech Assessment Tool was developed with rigorous research based on ISTE, OECD, UNESCO, CASEL and other standards and global best practices. This means that when you self-assess your own capabilities using the tool, you’re not only getting insights that benchmark you against hundreds of other leaders and educators from around the world, but that your level of capabilities and path to improvement are backed by sound research.

How do we know students are learning when we can't see them? 

The effectiveness of blended learning can be particularly difficult to measure. Our 2020 survey shows what capabilities are likely to lead to 7x more effectiveness in teaching and learning.

What does it mean to drive a pedagogy first EdTech strategy?

Zero in on key questions to help identify what matters for successful EdTech integration, and key actionable insight on where to focus.
