Scalable Implementation Framework

• Conduct brief listening sessions or surveys with families, students, and teachers

• Identify barriers: device access, internet, digital confidence, safety concerns

• Use existing data (Title I status, attendance, device repair trends, family feedback)
  
  

Scales easily because:
✔ Can be done informally or formally
✔ Works in one school or district-wide

• Identify local nonprofits, libraries, housing organizations, workforce programs

• Research national partners that offer free or low-cost resources (e.g., device refurbishers, online training platforms)

• Determine geographic service areas and capacity
  
  

Scales easily because:
✔ Every community has different partners
✔ Educators reuse the same outreach process with different organizations

Create a clear pathway families can move through at their own pace:

1. 1. 1.  Foundational Skills – turning on a computer, mouse/keyboard use, email, etc.

      2.  Productivity Skills – documents, slides, forms, file management

      3.  Digital Citizenship & Safety – online safety, privacy, media literacy

      4.  CS Exploration – coding basics, AI awareness, career pathways

      5.  Workforce Readiness – certifications, job skills, resume tools

Scales easily because:

✔ Families enter at different points

✔ Districts can start with just Step 1 and grow over time 

• Host Family Technology Nights (grade-banded or mixed ages)

• Separate parents and students for targeted learning, then reconnect

• Offer virtual and in-person options

• Provide multilingual support when possible

Scales easily because:

✔ One night → multiple nights → recurring series

✔ Can be led by one educator or a team

• • • Connect families to free or refurbished computers

    • Share internet access resources and low-cost service options

    • Offer flexible scheduling and childcare-friendly formats

Scales easily because:
✔ Access strategies vary by region
✔ Programs grow as partnerships grow

• Encourage caregivers to learn alongside students

• Highlight parent success stories

• Frame learning as “supporting your child,” not “going back to school”

Scales easily because:

✔ Cultural relevance adapts locally

✔ Builds long-term sustainability without ongoing funding 

• Track participation and feedback

• Gather family and teacher reflections

• Identify next steps: deeper CS learning, certifications, student clubs

Scales easily because:

✔ Metrics can be simple or complex

✔ Reflection drives organic growth
