About Edsurge

Learning sparks ⚡ your curiosity. We think journalism about education should do that, too.

But where can readers go for compelling stories about the powerful forces, fascinating people and innovative practices influencing teaching and learning today? Where can they dig deeper beyond what happened to find smart, nuanced analysis about why it all matters?

EdSurge is an editorially independent digital news site from ISTE+ASCD. Our  education coverage illuminates, informs and ignites readers’ curiosity. We bring you human-centered insights for a changing world.

Here’s how we do it. We root our journalism in the lives of educators and learners, sharing stories that elevate their voices and experiences. We report and write about their accomplishments and dreams, plus the challenges they face, as human beings; students and scholars; and members of local and global communities. We track trends, problems and solutions in teaching and learning, highlighting what’s at stake for educators, learners, the broader education system and society. Then, we bring these insights to life for readers by publishing reported stories and news analysis articles as well as commentary and narrative essays.

We aim to cover today’s most important news with depth and nuance across early childhood and K-12 education. We’re reporting about edtech innovation; student growth and engagement in the classroom; what teachers and administrators need to thrive; future readiness for students; and AI to support human strengths.

An EdSurge story cuts through hype, piques curiosity, illuminates outcomes and stirs empathy. We aim to leave our savvy readers with better answers — and bigger questions. We offer education expertise that’s enjoyable to read. We hope our writers’ voices and ideas jump off the (web)page.

We deliver our journalism and research through our daily website, our newsletters and our social media platforms. We also produce and co-publish stories with media partners. EdSurge further supports the education ecosystem with a jobs board, research projects, weekly podcast, and more.
