The Digital Resilience in the American Workforce (DRAW) initiative developed a suite of publications to build the adult education field's awareness and understanding of digital resilience, digital literacy, and digital skills.
Report
Landscape Scan
In the first year of the Digital Resilience in the American Workforce (DRAW) initiative, JFF, World Education, and Safal Partners launched a landscape scan to better understand what training resources and approaches are most relevant for educators seeking to increase foundational digital literacy and digital resilience for an adult learner population. The process unearthed a wide array of information, including instructional content and strategies, assessment needs and tools, digital access and equity models, and professional development models and resources.
Blogs
The blog series shares lessons learned from a national landscape scan conducted by the Digital Resilience in the American Workforce (DRAW) project. Each blog shares highlights from one of the thematic areas explored in the landscape scan.
Briefs

Assessment Checklist
Our scan identified a need for guidance on determining when digital literacy assessments are “a good fit." The DRAW team created a checklist to guide the selection of an assessment based on purpose and context to support educators further.
The DRAW team developed a suite of professional development resources to support adult education professionals in their efforts to build the digital resilience of adult learners. These resources can be used by individuals or integrated into statewide or regional professional development efforts.
Self Assessment
Reflection Roadmap
This tool for instructors offers self-assessment, reflection activities, and space for note-taking, all of which correspond to the units of the DRAW course and can enrich the learning experience. With thoughtful use, this Reflection Roadmap can help make changes to instruction that can lead to digital resilience in adult learners.
Course
The five-unit DRAW course was developed with the purpose of providing an introduction to key components of Digital Resilience. Each of the units include an introduction to the unit, three or four sections aligned to the unit objectives, and a unit summary with key takeaways. You can go through the course units in order or choose which are most aligned to your professional learning goals.
Playbook
This playbook demonstrates how digital resilience can be a goal in any adult learning context by supporting learner use of digital technologies as they learn academic content. The playbook explores four different topic areas: workforce preparation, health literacy, financial literacy, and civics. Each is presented as a short scenario describing a lesson that integrates digital literacy instruction with a “resilience” approach achieved through use of routines.

Routines & Edtech Routine Templates
Instructional routines are repeated learning activities that provide structure. They are an important element of learning in all content areas and at all levels. This document introduces a template for creating instructional routines that include opportunities for learners to build digital literacy skills and resilience using Seattle’s Digital Skills Framework. Click here for examples of routines for different classrooom settings and content areas, including the routines highlighted in the Playbook for Fostering Digital Resilience through Instruction in Adult Education.
