Connecting Data,  Empowering Educators

At the Ed-Fi Alliance, we ensure real-time data translates into meaningful action. We’re not a vendor. We’re a Michael & Susan Dell Foundation initiative, working with technology providers, districts, and states to deliver insights that keep teachers focused on student success.

Building a Clearer Picture

Imagine teachers instantly seeing the complete story of each student, district leaders quickly spotting trends, and state agencies easily gathering reliable information to make smarter decisions. That’s what we’re building.

Our open-source data standard and technology suite enable tech providers to build unique products that seamlessly communicate through a common language.
