Standards are identified for kindergarten through grade eight, with an optional selection of electives modules at the middle school level, and a sequence of high school courses. The standards are organized into the following content strands:
Computing Systems
Networks and the Internet
Cybersecurity
Data and Analysis
Algorithms and Programming
Impacts of Computing
The Standards of Learning within each strand progress in complexity throughout the grade levels and into high school course content. While the standards are organized by strand and identified numerically, local curricula and pacing guides should determine the instructional sequence of the content.
High School
PLTW Principles of Engineering (Computer Science) - empowers students to become creators, instead of merely consumers, of the technology all around them. The program engages students in collaborative projects that help them develop in-demand computer science knowledge as well as transportable skills like creative thinking and communication.
PLTW Cybersecurity - the field of cyber security has developed to enhance network security and information security for both individuals and organizations. This course focuses on the evolving and pervasive technological environment with an emphasis on securing personal, organizational, and national information. Student work collaboratively to compete in Capture the Flag (CTF) competitions.
