Your district has a
federal mandate for AI literacy.
The curriculum is already built.
Pathfinder's integrated AI & Technology Literacy curriculum is aligned to EO 14277, the DOL AI Literacy Framework, and NY state legislation — with a free pilot program to get you started this semester, no PO required.
Students are making career decisions in a market that no existing curriculum was designed for.
The jobs students were preparing for are being automated faster than schools can update their guidance. The students who will be hired — and paid significantly more — are the ones who understand how to work with AI, not just use it. That's a teachable skill. Federal policy now requires you to teach it. Pathfinder gives you everything you need to do that.
A four-layer framework — integrated, not isolated.
Most AI literacy courses treat technology as a separate subject. This curriculum rejects that. It builds four interdependent layers simultaneously — aligned to the DOL AI Literacy Framework's five content areas and designed to be woven into existing courses without a full rebuild.
20 classroom-ready videos. Free. Structured for how students actually learn.
The Pathfinder AI & Technology Literacy Video Series follows a neuroscience-informed structure — each video moves from hook to concept to visual model to real-world application to reflection. Every module becomes a standalone learning unit.

The 20% Human Edge — the e-book that goes with the curriculum.
Nine chapters aligned chapter-by-chapter with the video series. Every chapter ends with a portfolio exercise — a real artifact students can use in college applications, interviews, or career counseling conversations. Chapter 1 is free.
No new course required. Pathfinder integrates into what you already run.
The curriculum is designed to layer into existing school structures with minimal lift — no new hire, no full-year commitment, no disruption to current schedules.
CTE / Career Readiness
Full curriculum integration — all four layers map directly to career cluster outcomes and future-ready skill frameworks.
Counseling & Advisory
The Pathfinder platform and e-book give counselors shared vocabulary and structured exercises to run in 1:1 or small-group settings.
English / ELA
Chapters 4 and 5 — critical thinking and communication — fit naturally into units on argumentation, source evaluation, and professional writing.
Computer Science / Tech
Modules 1 and 2 of the video series map directly to CS fundamentals — without requiring students to learn to code from scratch.
Social Studies / Civics
Layer 4 — ethics, governance, and civic agency — connects directly to existing civics outcomes around technology, policy, and democratic participation.
College & Career Planning
Chapters 7–9 and the Pathfinder assessment give seniors a practical, portfolio-building system they can use immediately in college and job applications.
Not a researcher. Someone who was in the room.
"I was in the room when AI showed up in real workforces. I watched what happened. Then I looked at what schools were teaching students — and saw a gap."
Tammy Scandalis is a mother of four Gen Z kids and brings 20+ years of experience at the director level inside some of the world's most recognized technology companies — where she led the learning strategy and leadership development of engineering teams and senior leaders.
She introduced AI into function-specific workflows at a top-tier global cloud computing leader and an AI startup — working alongside engineers, analysts, ops teams, and HR professionals as they navigated the shift in real time. She didn't read about what happened when AI arrived in the workplace. She was the one designing how organizations responded to it.
When she looked at what students were being told about their futures, she found generic optimism and outdated career maps. Pathfinder is what she built to fill that gap — because the people who know what employers actually need aren't writing the career guides.
Start with one class. No PO needed.
Schools need to de-risk before a full site license makes sense. The free pilot is designed specifically for that — one class or grade level, a full set of materials included, real teacher and student feedback at the end.
