Who We Are

The tools available today often skim the surface. While they can tell us that many students are struggling with a particular standard, they don’t dig into why. What about that standard caused the struggle? Most data integrations focus on the basics—things like SIS data and assessments. But these alone can’t tell the whole story. At Strived, we aim to dig deeper, offering insights that reveal the ‘why’ behind
the numbers.

It’s tough to measure how well a tool works when schools aren’t using it as intended. Many edtech tools require specific usage conditions to show their true impact, like hitting a certain number of hours or completing a set portion of the curriculum. But if those conditions aren’t met, it’s hard to know if the tool is really helping. That said, if we combine the usage on these tools – no matter how much – with other data of things happening in the classroom with assessments, or exit tickets, or even
group work, we can get a much
clearer picture if things are
“working” or not as a whole.

Data transparency is a big issue. We’ve seen companies hold back data when it doesn’t fit their narrative. That’s why Strived exists—to provide objective, transparent data that school leaders can trust. We know that data is a tool for improvement, not just for reporting.
