AI Vendor Fit Scorecard for Schools
Before a school adopts an AI tool, leaders need to know it is safe, pedagogically sound, and built for the realities of classrooms. The free AI Vendor Fit Scorecard is a structured assessment that scores any AI tool for education across the criteria schools actually buy on.
What the scorecard measures
- Safeguarding & data protection. GDPR, COPPA, FERPA, data residency, retention, and processor terms.
- Pedagogy. Evidence of educational value, alignment to curriculum outcomes, and prevention of academic dishonesty.
- Accessibility. WCAG conformance, multilingual support, and special educational needs adaptations.
- Operational fit. Single sign-on, MIS integration, deployment effort, and total cost of ownership.
- Vendor maturity. Security posture, incident response, roadmap transparency, and references from other schools.
Who the scorecard is for
Headteachers, principals, MAT and district leaders, IT and DPO leads, and any educator who needs to evaluate an AI tool against school procurement standards. Vendors can also use the scorecard to self-assess and improve their school readiness before a buying conversation.
