At present, the development of digital literacy of teachers in China has a guiding and directional framework. However, the policy rules for digital literacy of ideological and political education (IPE) teachers need to be summarized and refined in theory and practice. By analyzing the necessity and practical conditions for improving the digital literacy of IPE teachers, this paper, based on competency theory, constructs a framework for the digital literacy and divides digital literacy into five levels: fundational, professional, value-based, core and extended. Based on the characteristics of the framework and competency growth, this research proposes a multi-strategy approach to cultivate the digital literacy of IPE teachers, including tiered and categorized training, improving evaluation and feedback mechanisms, focusing on intrinsic motivation, and optimizing environmental support.
