What is BrightBytes
With the goal of improving decisions made about technology integration within the classroom & curriculum, professional development training & support, and any future district related technology initiatives, the El Monte Union High School District is proud to announce the utilization of the BrightBytes Clarity tool for our district. Clarity is a platform designed to give school districts detailed information about the use of technology within their classrooms, student homes, and community. About BrightBytes ClarityBrightBytes Clarity is a highly-effective, online platform designed to provide schools with evidence-based data around the CASE framework, a holistic reporting mechanism that examines classroom technology use, access to technology in and out of school, attitudes toward technology usage, and technology skills of students, educators, and parents. It utilizes short, research-driven survey questions given to administrators, teachers, students, and parents/guardians and presents this information in an easy to read format. Results can be disaggregated in a number of different ways so that school & district administrators can pinpoint where they need to target their next steps for intervention and development.Our Survey Period is Now Closed, Click Here to View Our most Recent Results
