About Skoodat
Skoodat is developing an open, Web-based learning platform that powers education innovation rather than expensive IT infrastructure. Our mission, “Learning for all,” speaks to the widespread and transformative impact we seek to bring to the critical social problem of inadequate or failing learning systems.
Skoodat is a values-driven company, seeking to make a profound social and environmental impact in partnership with many who share our passion. Becoming a B Corporation helps establish and build trust among our partners and customers by sending a clear signal that our commitments will not be compromised.
Instead of building, powering and cooling rooms full of servers and software silos, schools will be able to shift expenditures to new capabilities for monitoring student learning in real time, providing dramatically better information to drive learning performance.
The Change We Seek™
Skoodat is a key leader in a change movement within education, bringing greater equity and sustainability to education systems. By creating a cloud-based education platform, Skoodat enables schools to focus on education innovation instead of information technology management.
• Skoodat services will enable innovation to fulfill the promise of learning for all. Skoodat envisions an education system that is dramatically different than the current system, one where every child and adult can master competencies that will improve their ability to contribute to society. We aim to bring equity and sustainability to the system, ensuring that the needs of under-served communities and individuals are met though innovative approaches to gathering and reporting on learning data in real time to promote rapid intervention.
• Skoodat services will be good for the environment and will free up capital for other purposes. Because the Skoodat education platform is delivered through cloud technologies, schools can be more environmentally and fiscally responsible. Schools will no longer need to devote money and other resources to servers and software. Skoodat services eliminate the need for many paper-based systems by delivering information over the Internet. Our services can eliminate significant costs within schools and deliver dramatic new capabilities for improving the learning system.
• Skoodat services will improve the flow of money to where it is needed most. Public sector funding for schools is increasingly linked to performance data. Unfortunately, many schools lack the resources necessary to reporting reliable data to government agencies, and therefore do not receive adequate funding. By providing real-time data tracking student performance, underserved schools can receive more money from funds designed for struggling school districts.
