Scope & Sequence

In order to reach the goals above the district is piloting a new K-12 Technology Scope and Sequence. A scope and sequence is a document that will map out the different skills and tools that will be introduced as students move through the various grade levels across the district. This document will help to ensure that our students’ experiences in using and learning about technology is not only thorough, but also fair and equitable across classrooms and schools. The skills and tools needed are organized into three major digital literacy categories:

• Demonstrate proficiency in the use of computers and applications as an understanding;
• Demonstrate the responsible use of technology and understanding of ethics and safety issues using electronic media at home, in school and in society; and
• Demonstrate the ability to use technology for research, critical thinking, decision making, communication and collaboration, and creativity and innovation.

This document is a pilot. The plan is to spend the first year looking at how well our students’ current experiences overlap with this “ideal” scope and sequence. This analysis will help us to make curricular decisions (and possible adjustments to the scope and sequence document) in subsequent years.
