Ensure EdTech Efficacy with ESSA Evidence
The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) clearly states that technology interventions should be evidence-based to support improved K-12 teaching and learning outcomes. Look for research aligned to the four tiers of ESSA evidence to find and implement edtech proven to make an impact.
In the landscape of modern K-12 education, the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) has made evidence-based decision-making a critical requirement for federal funding and instructional success. Instructure’s approach to edtech efficacy focuses on helping districts navigate the four tiers of ESSA evidence—Strong, Moderate, Promising, and Demonstrates a Rationale. By prioritizing solutions backed by rigorous, third-party research, education leaders can move beyond anecdotal success and ensure their technology investments are scientifically proven to improve teaching and learning outcomes.
Ensuring efficacy is about more than compliance; it’s about establishing a clear link between tool usage and student growth. Through LearnPlatform by Instructure, districts can access a catalog of vetted solutions and leverage "Evidence as a Service" to build their own research portfolios. This data-driven framework allows administrators to identify which tools are truly impactful in their specific contexts, streamlining the path to academic mastery. By grounding technology choices in transparent, accessible evidence, schools can foster a culture of continuous improvement that consistently prioritizes the needs and success of every student.
