See a Demo of The Exchange
We show you the products available in our initial release of the Texas Education Exchange, from the Online Community to the Onboarding Wizard and Tech Console to our Leadership Analytics and Educator Dashboards. The future of interoperability in Texas Education is now!
Benefits
Scalable, safe technology.
Data within our unified platform will remain entirely under the ownership of its respective district. With The Exchange, student data is secure–even at scale.
Better decision making.
The patchwork of SIS vendors and LMS applications pull educators away from the classroom and inhibits their ability to make sense of data. The Exchange will unite these disconnected systems under the Ed-Fi data standard to provide clearer takeaways.
Cost savings.
The Exchange will be free to districts during the grant period and transition to a modest, fee-based system on Sept. 1, 2024. We plan to collectively negotiate best-cost options from national vendors that bring value to ESCs and provide Exchange-built applications for the benefit of members.
Customization for user friendliness.
The suite of applications will offer customizable views for everyone, ranging from teachers in the classroom to district leaders and beyond. Other features like data health checks and portable student records deliver a better user experience.
Value Proposition
Elevating ideas for better education in Texas.
Ideas and thought leadership opportunities abound in the Texas education space. The Exchange will help those concepts to materialize and be shared throughout the state.
Curated services and tools support districts across the entire state as they work to solve similar challenges.
As a community-driven platform, The Exchange helps Texas school districts and their stakeholders manage, review and operationalize education data. Tools allow districts to monitor institutional effectiveness, support educator welfare and promote overall student success.
The Exchange is an investment. Starting small, we are focused on continued growth down the road. We know it won’t be easy. But the commitment will be worth it, as districts everywhere stand to benefit. It takes all of us.
Better Texas ed is built here.
