Our program is based upon the National Educational Technology Standards as put forth by the International Society for Technology Education. Standards within each category are to be introduced, reinforced, and mastered by students. Teachers use these standards and profiles as guidelines for planning technology-based activities in which students achieve success in learning, communication, and life skills. Students demonstrate a sound understanding of the nature and operation of technology systems. Students are proficient in the use of technology.
