If you’ve never worked in a school, particularly a high poverty school, it’s difficult to understand how hard teaching is (let alone principaling). Teachers deserve tools built by people who understand these challenges first hand. Technology will never make teaching easy, but EdLight can make it a whole lot easier.

So many school routines are built around test scores, facilitated by an entire industry of assessments. But if the goal is authentic learning, you need to focus on authentic student work. EdLight provides the missing infrastructure needed to put student work at the center of teaching and learning.

A lack of attention to student work is one of the great injustices of education. Anti-racist education requires honoring the intellectual and emotional energy that Black, Brown and marginalized students put into their work. EdLight provides structured tools, like clear rubrics, that guard against bias and hold our actions up to our values.
