EdLight

EdLight is a Public Benefit Corporation dedicated to making great teaching easier by providing structured tools that help teachers focus on authentic student work. Operating in the education technology market, EdLight serves teachers and educational institutions, particularly those in high-poverty areas. The company offers a platform that allows educators to capture, assess, and audit student work that doesn't fit neatly into a computer, such as handwritten notes or complex problem-solving tasks. This is especially crucial in a remote learning environment where seeing authentic student work is challenging. EdLight's tools include clear rubrics that guard against bias and ensure that the intellectual and emotional energy of Black, Brown, and marginalized students is honored. The business model revolves around subscription-based services, where schools and educational institutions pay for access to the platform and its features. By focusing on reducing bias and promoting equity in education, EdLight aims to address one of the great injustices in the education system.
