What is ED-FI?
What is ED-FI?
Ed-Fi is a data standard - a set of rules for how student data is recorded and stored.
Messy data
The Challenge
Managing district data from multiple systems is too difficult and time consuming when the data is not standardized or secured.
Streamline data
The Solution
Ed-Fi's data standard allows multiple data systems to speak the same digital language, ensuring consistent and fluid data exchange between them.

Our partnership with Skyward is opening an exciting new world of possibilities for using data to improve student outcomes.
