Codesign Product Certification
Codesign Product Certification is open to all companies that complete a research study with Leanlab Education and make product modifications based on user feedback. The purpose of this certification is to assess a company’s ongoing commitment to the values of codesign.
Vision
Provide a trust mark in the education ecosystem that allows edtech companies to signal their commitment to developing their products with, not for, the education community.
What is Codesign?
Codesign is based on the simple idea that the "end-users" (students, teachers, parents) in education are the people with the expertise necessary to improve research design and education products. When we codesign, we engage in a collaborative process that unites critical insights from school communities with the expertise of researchers and product developers. The end result is that we make better products for school communities.
Recipients
Building Evidence Certification
The Building Evidence Certification is used to denote edtech companies that have met Tier IV of the ESSA tiers of evidence. To qualify for ESSA IV, an edtech company must complete a logic model or theory of change that is based on rigorous research and have a plan or research already underway to study the effects of the edtech tool.
What are the ESSA Tiers of Evidence?
The terms “ESSA” and “evidence-based” should sound familiar if you’ve been working in this space for any length of time. “Evidence-based” is phrase with a very specific definition that was established in the Every Student Succeeds Act. There are four tiers of recognized evidence “that demonstrate a statistically significant effect on improving student outcomes or other relevant outcomes” outlined in the act.
