AI literacy PD your whole
district can afford — and fund.
One site license certifies your educators, certifies your students, and qualifies for Title I, II-A, and IV-A federal funding. No new budget required.

How the certification platform works for a district — from the superintendent signing the license to a teacher earning a verified credential.
Districts are deploying AI tools.
Nobody trained the teachers.
AI is already in your classrooms — through student devices, district software, and personal use. What’s missing is a verified, structured credential for the educators guiding it.
- No verified AI credential for educators
- PD is one-time, not renewable or trackable
- Students use AI with no structured literacy foundation
- No audit trail for federal funding compliance
- AI champions leave — and so does all their knowledge
- Educators earn band-specific credentials tailored to Elementary, Upper Elementary, Middle School, or High school — verified, shareable, and renewable
- Annual renewal keeps skills current and aligned with evolving state AI policy
- Students earn age-appropriate certifications for every grade band, with four stackable credentials across grades 9–12
- Built-in reporting for Title I, II-A, IV-A compliance
- Ambassador model embeds AI literacy into every building
Everything in one license.
A ZeroBlue district site license covers your educators and your students — with the infrastructure to manage, track, and renew.
Educator
Certifications
Band-specific credentials for Elementary, Upper Elementary, Middle School, and High school educators. Six self-paced modules plus a capstone covering AI foundations, classroom application, ethics, and data privacy — tailored to the competencies each band actually needs. One district license covers seats in any band.
4 band-specific credentials · 6 modules + capstone eachStudent
Certifications
Age-appropriate credentials for every K–12 learner. Single certs for Elementary (K–2), Upper Elementary (3–5), and Middle School (6–8). High school is tiered by grade — 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th — so students earn a new stackable credential annually. Four modules per cert. Workload scales with age: ~2–3 hours for K–2, ~3–4 hours for grades 3–12. COPPA-compliant.
7 credentials · stackable across gradesAmbassador
Program Access

Infrastructure
Certifications renew annually — keeping your staff and students current as AI evolves, as state AI policy shifts, and as digital-citizenship behaviors get reinforced through repeated exposure. Renewal is included in your site license fee.
Renewal included in licensePrivate District
Community
Your educators get a private group inside the ZeroBlue community — a dedicated space where your staff discuss AI practice, share classroom prompts, and ask questions safely without publishing to the open internet. Separate from the public practice community; visible only to your district’s members.
Private by default · District-only accessYour district already has
the budget for this.
ZeroBlue qualifies under three federal funding streams. For most districts, a site license represents a fraction of already-allocated PD and technology funds.
No new budget required.
Districts routinely use Title IV-A SSAE funds for technology professional development — the exact category ZeroBlue falls under. If your district has a Title IV-A allocation, you likely have the funds available today. We provide a budget justification template on request.
Student Support & Academic Enrichment
The primary mechanism for ZeroBlue. SSAE grants fund technology-integrated instruction and educator PD in digital literacy — exactly what ZeroBlue provides.
Supporting Effective Instruction
Funds educator professional development and training. ZeroBlue’s 6-module band-specific educator certifications qualify as structured, documented teacher PD with completion tracking — separate credentials for Elementary, Upper Elementary, Middle School, and High school educators.
Improving Basic Programs
For Title I-eligible districts, technology literacy PD for educators can be funded through Part A allocations, particularly when tied to student achievement goals.

Sized for every district.
Annual site licenses scale by district enrollment. Every license includes band-specific educator certifications, student certifications across K–12, Ambassador program access, seat management tools, and all annual renewals. Most districts cover the full cost through existing Title I, II-A, and IV-A federal allocations.
Pricing is structured around enrollment size, number of educator seats, and Ambassador allocation. Every district is different — reach out for a proposal shaped to your enrollment, funding sources, and rollout timeline.
From signed contract to
certified staff in days.
ZeroBlue is fully self-paced and async — no scheduling, no travel, no substitute coverage needed.
