TECHNOLOGY & CODING ELITE students utilize technology to enhance their learning on a daily basis. They become progressively fluent in coding and computer science through participation in the Project-Based Learning, Student Tech Squad, Teacher Tech Assistant, and Elite Production team activities. Students participate in hands-­on, sometimes integrated, inquiry-­based coding/science/engineering projects designed to give them the confidence, skill and ability to solve complex problems. Students will create projects and complete written reports and presentations that demonstrate their mastery of advanced concepts. There are significant ways that technology will assist ELITE in sustaining its vision for student achievement and deliver on our promise. Students will have regular access to computers through stationary and mobile computer labs. Community members at ELITE are drawn by the charter school’s college-­bound culture and the prospect of having their children growing up knowing three languages (English, Spanish, and coding) rather than one. ELITE understands that by graduating with strong coding skills, students will have pathways to opportunity when navigating the world in their futures. As the world becomes increasingly connected by technology, the “third language” that is integral to the fabric of our school is the language of technology. ELITE will provide that “third language” instruction by devoting time and energy to considering the purpose, value, and function of technology within the context of our school. Students will have an opportunity to participate in the Student Tech Squad, under the direction of the teacher assigned as the technology coordinator. The Student Tech Squad helps ensure that ELITE technology is operating appropriately and that teachers are receiving the assistance they need to ensure that their students are receiving powerful technology-­based instruction on a daily basis. Students will have an opportunity to work as in-­class student technology assistants, providing assistance to students and staff members. Lastly, students will have the chance to participate on the ELITE production team which is a traveling team that will support set-­up and support of computer equipment for meetings and large gatherings. This traveling team will support ELITE activities, and those of other entities in the community.
