At the core of EdGate’s business is the EdGate taxonomy. EdGate has been engaged in an ongoing process of creating our educational taxonomies for well over a decade. The basis for our taxonomy is rooted in the educational standards from both the United States and International standards and the refinement of our taxonomies over time has given us the ability to fully understand what is being taught in classrooms across the world.
When EdGate first researched the best way to align content to state standards, several observations dictated the direction that the company would ultimately take in the development of the technology to support such an effort.
EdGate researched a number of available systems and found that none of the lists adequately and effectively addressed the topics covered not only in standards across the United States and Canada, but across other countries around the world as well.
Based on this research, EdGate developed a proprietary system for identifying content and correlating it to a requested set of standards, and all related standards, a first for the industry. This taxonomy has evolved, with six patents awarded during 25+ years of development, we continue to strive to make our methodology better and more efficient for our clients.
Accuracy, service, and speed are essential to our clients, and have become core tenets of the EdGate process.
