In order to keep the curriculum comparisons in an apples to apples context, we will use the Seattle Digital Equity Initiative (SDEI) digital skills framework to provide the domains where the curriculum aligns to. It is worth mentioning that there are additional factors that are not present in this alignment that would impact in the decision of what curriculum you will use at your agency, which includes, but not limited to:
- Leaner and agency access to technology
- Learner and agency academic, professional and personal goals
- Partnerships and collaborations with non-profit organizations, businesses, and other stakeholders
- Learners' academic background, knowledge, and experience
- Learners' English language background, knowledge, and experience​
- The time allotted to complete and/or met expectations​
​
When exploring the curriculum below, you will find a SDEI domain tabs that, when selected, will show the aligned activities from the framework. Please note that only the lessons and domains that have correlations will show in this document. You can access the full alignment across the frameworks and curricula available by going to the Digital ATDN BRIDGES Digital Learning Checklist. ​
