The goal of the Ed-Fi Alliance is to drive national adoption of the Ed-Fi Data Standard — a common language that allows education technology systems to securely exchange data from multiple sources. The data standard empowers educators and administrators by providing a comprehensive view of all data. It enables a clear understanding of student progress, informs instructional decisions, and supports the achievement of desired learning outcomes.
A data standard is a set of rules for collecting, managing, and organizing educational data that allows multiple systems to seamlessly and securely share actionable information.
