To be eligible for any Ed-Fi badge, the following requirements must be m= et. Note that requirements for specific badges are described in Available Badges.
The organization applying for the badge must be an Ed-Fi Partner. Note t= hat the partner status must be maintained for the duration of the badge.&nb= sp;Vendors may join the Ed-Fi Partner Program by providing the information = and commitments requested in this o= nline form. Direct any questions to Se= an Casey.
The Ed-Fi related functionality that is the basis for the badge must be = widely available in the K12 market. "Widely available" means that at minimu= m the functionality is available for use in an entire US state or purchasab= le or acquirable by a minimum of 100 school districts. The functionality mu= st also be part of the core product functionality or a standardized option = - i.e., it must not require customized development work to make function, b= ut it can require configuration. Availability information must be recorded = in the badge application and will be published in the Registry of Ed-Fi Badges.
The Ed-Fi related functionality that is the basis for the badge must be = in actual usage in a school district. The usage may be a pilot that is plan= ned for production, but must not be a proof-of-concept, "spike" or other tr= ansient project not designed and intended to become part of the infrastruct= ure of an education agency.
The Ed-Fi related functionality that is the basis for the badge must be = maintained across product updates for the duration of the badge. The Allian= ce may ask for a re-verification of product functionality at any time if th= ere is a question on if the functionality is available and working.
The Ed-Fi related functionality that is the basis for the badge must emp= loy Ed-Fi core data entities =E2=80=93 i.e. those in the Ed-Fi U= nifying Data Model (latest version is here: Ed-Fi Unifying Data Model) =E2=80=93 as par= t of its core value to users. The integration functionality can include ext= ended elements, but the value to end uses must be clear and apparent if the= extensions were not present.
The Ed-Fi Alliance may at any time change the requirements for a badge. = Such a change will not necessarily require a reapplication , but it does me= an that a system that previously received a badge may not be able to meet t= he requirements the next time the product applies.
The application includes basic information about the product and functio= nality seeking a badge.
This requirement only applies to the Ed-Fi API Consumer Badge and Ed-Fi ODS Platfo= rm Consumer Badge.
The product must supply a list of all Ed-Fi data elements that are part = of the badge-related functionality. These elements must be employed within = the badge product to produce some kind of output that is of value to produc= t users and consistent with the core value provided by the product.
For the format, the mapping must
The Alliance must receive at least one customer verification that the na= rrative (from the application form) is accurate and the integration is in u= se. This form must be submitted by an education agency that is a memb= er of the Ed-Fi community. You can find the verification form here.
When all application elements are complete, the Ed-Fi Alliance will reac= h out to schedule an online, synchronous inspection of the product function= ality. The technology provider will be asked to share their screen and demo= nstrate the product functionality that is the basis for the badge.
When review and validation is complete, the badge will be awarded. Badge= s are good for 2 years.
In the event that it is unclear if a product qualifies or not for the ba= dge, the Alliance will refer the decision to the Ed-Fi Governance Advisory Team (GAT). The Allia= nce reserves the right to provide any information from the badge applicatio= n to the GAT in order to make this decision.
