External Resources

This page includes a variety of publicly available learning resources that may support additional practice with Northstar standards. These resources were not created by Northstar. Since we now offer online learning modules and a comprehensive classroom curriculum, this list of external resources is not being actively maintained by our team.

We have developed 1:1 Digital Literacy Skills Volunteer Tutor Plans, resources to support volunteer tutors working with learners one-on-one. These resources guide tutors who are accessing external resources. The plans help tutors follow best practice in instruction while targeting specific digital literacy skills learners need to work on.

Please note, we now provide comprehensive classroom curricula for each assessment, which have been created by Northstar - these curricula are available only through Northstar locations. Learn more about becoming a Northstar location.
