Getting Started

Patterns and practices for starting or expanding on your Ed-Fi journey

Playbooks

Every Ed-Fi implementation is unique, but the most successful ones share common foundations. Drawing from years of fieldwork with agencies and providers, our team has captured proven practices and patterns into clear guidance. These Implementation Playbooks outline how to set priorities, build effective teams, and apply interoperability where it matters most—helping all Ed-Fi users move from setup to success.
