EdTech Quality Indicators Guide: Leveraging the Five EdTech Quality Indicators to save time and money, reduce risk, and improve student outcomes

Developed by the EdTech Quality Collaborative, the EdTech Quality Indicators Guide helps education leaders bridge the gap across technology selection, piloting, and procurement to support evidence-based decision making. It centers on five core quality indicators—Safety, Evidence, Inclusivity, Usability, and Interoperability—and leverages third-party validations from the EdTech Index to streamline product vetting. The guide outlines a comprehensive, data-driven six-step framework to analyze district needs, pilot interventions, plan rollouts, and evaluate return on investment. It features practical templates and evaluation rubrics designed to optimize resource allocation, reduce risk, and improve student outcomes.
