Finding the right tools for schools.

Edtech tools exponentially expand a teacher’s ability to personalize the learning experience when they are curated and applied carefully. Before technology is showcased to Pilot Network teachers, it has to pass the LEAP Curation Panel’s rigorous review process.

The LEAP Edtech Curation Process

Passing curation is no easy feat: our panelists, including experts in learning science or psychology, independently review each prospective tool for four-to-six weeks, holistically evaluating its design, efficacy and alignment with the LEAP Learning Framework. In total, we’ve received over 150 applications from edtech companies and piloted just 19 products. If a tool reaches a learner’s hands, you can be sure it’s of the highest quality design, and that its potential to empower teachers and learners is enormous.

Remote Learning Resources

To help our educators navigate remote learning challenges, we're partnered with edtech companies to provide resources and guidance. Their insights center around how to rethink the power of these tools for connecting and planning lessons in a digital environment. Dive into those resources here.
