At our school, opportunities for growth and impact are limitless, and we are committed to closing the gap in access to CS for students of color by building a comprehensive K-12 CS pathway. For our grades 3-5 Technology curriculum we aim to equip young learners with essential digital skills, including digital citizenship, digital literacy, and foundational computer science concepts, utilizing curricula like CodeHS for CS, Common Sense Media for digital citizenship, and TypingClub for keyboarding skills. This rich, diverse curriculum is further enhanced by our unique approach to teaching digital literacy through project-based activities, focusing on skills such as email etiquette, word processing, and PowerPoint formatting, without relying on a purchased curriculum.
