The State Educational Technology Directors Association (SETDA) launched the Framing the Evidence program in 2019 to help schools better gauge the effectiveness of technology used for  teaching and learning. Due to COVID, many schools resorted to remote and hybrid learning strategies so that students may continue learning outside of the school building, and even beyond the traditional school day. The Framing the Evidence program is more timely than ever, given the Department of Education’s American Rescue Plan funding totaling $122 Billion to help reopen schools in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia.

To support schools and districts in making deliberate and informed decisions when buying educational technology, we invite schools and districts to participate in pilots set up through the Framing the Evidence program, which should help them assess the impact of technology in addressing instructional and learning challenges, whether remote, in-person, or hybrid.

The following form asks a few questions as part of the application process for your school or district to participate in the program. Completing the form does not obligate you to participate; it merely serves as an indication of interest. If SETDA identifies a match between your school or district needs and the solutions that our organization’s private sector partners provide, we will contact you to discuss the potential of a free trial to these products and services.
