In 2021-2022, with the help of funders, EdTech designers, school district procurement folks, students, and teachers, we explored these challenges:

• How might we encourage [more] EdTech designers to use equity-centered processes and learning science research as they create new products? What are blocks or obstacles?
• How might we influence [more] EdTech venture capitalists and foundations to consider the processes and pedagogies used when they make funding decisions about new products?
• How might we help [more] school district buyers, parents, and other “customers” find and choose products that center equity?

The links below share our process and what we learned.
