Her Tech-Intentional School Certification offers exactly the kind of thoughtful, practical, and educator-led path schools need right now: a way to move beyond just accepting and adopting EdTech and instead moving toward a healthier, more intentional, child-centered learning environments.

"The future of education is tech intentional, and nobody has thought more deeply about what this means than Emily Cherkin. She is an invaluable resource for parents, teachers, and school leaders everywhere."

The Tech-Intentional School Certification is invaluable for schools determined to make technology a helpful learning tool which supports, rather than detracts, from kids’ learning success. In contrast to tech-industry-funded programs which mislead schools into becoming marketing agents for EdTech products, the Tech-Intentional School Certification is truly independent.

"Emily Cherkin is a trailblazer in the movement of parents and educators advocating for tech-intentional schools and the preeminent EdTech expert to guide school communities navigating these complex issues with clarity and ease."

Emily Cherkin is one of the clearest, most thoughtful, committed, passionate, dedicated and most intelligent people I have ever seen helping schools rethink the role of technology in children’s lives. I have interacted with specialists, experts, scientists, physicians, teachers, and principals across the country and even internationally, and Emily’s insights and delivery are unbelievably sharp.

"When schools become tech-intentional, they put children first and acknowledge the deep emotional and relational components of learning that can emerge when tech is kept in its place"
