AI Ready Skills Standards Alignment

AI Ready Skills was awarded the ISTE Seal in May 2025.

The ISTE Seal (formerly known as the ISTE Seal of Alignment) serves as a mark of high-quality product design for solutions that enable and guide high-quality learning. With a focus on user experience, product usability, and the most essential elements of instructional technology today, the ISTE Seal provides a set of criteria and simple indicators to guide educators, students, and technology directors toward the very best products on the market.

ISTE (International Society for Technology in Education) awards a seal only after an extensive analysis conducted by trained ISTE reviewers that ensures a product meets all critical elements under specific review criteria. By earning an ISTE Seal, ISTE verifies that this product:

• promotes critical technology skills;
• supports the use of technology in appropriate ways;
• incorporates digital pedagogy and the learning sciences;
• addresses key elements of tech usability, user experience and user interface; and
• aligns to ISTE Standards in specific ways.

The ISTE Seal findings report praised the engaging presentation of complex AI concepts in real-world contexts that capture student interest while building future-ready skills.

AI Ready Skills is aligned to the Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA) K-12 standards and the ISTE Standards. A lot of US states have used these standards either as their cyber security standards or as a basis for their computer science standards.
