About EdCredible®
EdCredible’s® proprietary, enterprise-level textbook adoption software serves the niche, multi-billion dollar textbook adoption market, and is the product of a decade of collaboration and development with some of the largest school districts in the nation including Broward, Orange and Duval County Public Schools, among many others.
The company partners closely with districts who use the software to solicit materials from publishers. Administrators then use EdCredible’s® proprietary tools with committees of teachers to review, evaluate, rank and vote for student and teacher materials. Administrators rely on EdCredible® for these important tasks because the outcomes determine how each district spends its millions of textbook dollars and the wrong decision can have significant consequences for a district, its students and their families.
EdCredible® is relied upon because it guarantees that school districts meet the mandates of state statutes for transparency and public participation like those enacted by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and the Florida Department of Education. To meet those mandates, EdCredible® recently added a proprietary online tool for parents to easily comment and object to textbooks being recommended for adoption by school districts. Ultimately, the goal of EdCredible® is to ensure each district purchases the highest quality textbooks and curriculum to meet the needs of all students and teachers.
The majority of school districts in Florida use EdCredible® including Alachua, Bay, Broward, Brevard, Collier, Escambia, Duval, Orange, Manatee, Marion, Monroe, Okaloosa, Pinellas, Sarasota, Seminole, Santa Rosa, St. Johns, Volusia, as well as more rural districts of the North East Florida Education Consortium and Panhandle Area Education Consortium. In any given year, between 50 and 60 of the 67 counties in Florida use EdCredible® to manage their textbook adoption process.
In 2020, the Florida Department of Education relied heavily on EdCredible’s® online review tool to manage the re-write of Math and ELA standards, which collected over 100,000 reviews of those standards statewide. This was the first ever public private partnership of its kind and led to much public recognition of EdCredible’s® capabilities by the then K-12 Chancellor, Jacob Oliva.
The ongoing development of new proprietary resources like Adoption Forums, Public Comments and Public Objections only further solidify EdCredible’s® commitment to its partners and its position as the market leader of curriculum and textbook adoption management solutions.
