The Everfi Approach

Expert-Developed Content

We work with external and in-house subject-matter experts to build learning experiences that deliver quality content to address

Data-Driven Insights

We use pre- and post-learning assessments and surveys to drive insights into how our content influences learner knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors.

Continuous Evaluation

We develop research-based programs and continuously verify their efficacy across educational settings to ensure sustained learning.

Ongoing Improvement

We use course data, learner surveys, and educator feedback to guide improvements to our content and platform.

The “Why” Behind Everfi Efficacy

Our educational content is proven to change learner attitudes and intended behaviors. Everfi’s K-12 programs meet rigorous ESSA (Every Student Succeeds Act) federal requirements for Tier 4 evidence of efficacy, demonstrating measurable impact that organizations can trust.

Goals

  1. To provide K-12 educators and students with free digital content on topics not sufficiently addressed by curriculums.
  2. To create interactive and accessible content aligned to standards that is grounded in real-world contexts, and easily integrated into instruction to support learner critical-life skill development.**

Initial product development, and subsequent iteration, are driven by these resources. They provide a clear rationale for why our content and design decisions are expected to positively impact students beyond just learning. Our work does not stop there. The Everfi research team includes Ph.D. trained researchers dedicated to continuously evaluating the impact and efficacy of our products both internally and through partnerships with independent research organizations. We leverage qualitative and quantitative data to assess implementation and impact to inform product development and improvements.

For the educators that use Everfi courses and the organizations that support them, the logic model summarizes why they are effective, what the indicators of success look like, and what improvements can be made moving forward to enhance effectiveness.

Everfi is committed to current and future rigorous impact and efficacy evaluations of our products beyond the logic model to ensure we continue to provide content and learning experiences that deliver meaningful impact.
