Harnessing edtech’s potential to help you to do more, do better, and do new things with your practice!

Edtech is everywhere. But how do you know if it’s making a difference?

That’s where the Value Add of Technology on Teaching (VATT) framework comes in. Leading Educators developed the VATT with teachers, school and system leaders, researchers, and experts from around the globe to build upon existing tech frameworks with an eye toward excellent instruction.

As you rethink the boundaries of the traditional classroom and lean on technology in brand new ways, the VATT Framework can help you harness the power and promise of technology in instruction to ignite new potential.
