A Framework for Digital Equity
Jessica K. Jackson; Jeffrey Starr; D’Andre Weaver
Digital Promise
This publication outlines the Digital Equity Framework--a set of principles, guidelines, and policy recommendations designed to bridge the digital divides at the state level, for K-12 systems, and for higher education. It introduces three frameworks for digital equity, designed to lay the groundwork for learners to fully participate in society amid the rise of generative AI and other emerging technologies that are digitizing the global economy. The K-12 Digital Equity Framework identifies the actions that schools and districts must take across five interdependent domains to graduate students prepared for postsecondary learning opportunities and a workforce that increasingly requires digital skills. The Higher Education Digital Equity Framework similarly defines the actions members of higher education communities must take to successfully activate the five domains they share with K-12. The third framework, the State Digital Equity and Opportunity Framework, establishes the central role states must play across education, housing, and workforce sectors to establish digital equity and facilitate full participation in the workforce and society. It proposes potential policy solutions, metrics for measuring their success, requirements for state agency personnel and/or vendor engagement, and potential funding sources for state initiatives. By using this Digital Equity Framework, leaders of school systems and higher education institutions can establish a foundation capable of not only transforming current teaching practices and learning experiences, but also future-proofing their schools for the evolving technological landscape. States can use the framework to expand programs to ensure all learners have the opportunity to fully participate in the digital world.
