TechnoKids Courses Align with Multiple Standards
TechnoKids has always provided teachers with a range of curriculum standards correlation documents. Our courses have been designed specifically to meet internationally recognized guidelines. In the past, teachers were able to refer to these TechnoKids charts to check the skills taught in every course and how they aligned with the most common international standards. The good news is that we have made this process even better.
NEW! Check Standards in TechnoHub
TechnoKids courses meet global standards set by internationally recognized organizations:
- Common Core English Language Arts and Mathematics
- ISTE – International Society for Technology in Education
- CSTA – Computer Science Teachers Association
- DQ Institute – Global Standards for Digital Intelligence
In addition, TechnoKids courses are designed with Bloom’s Taxonomy. This framework categorizes levels of thinking in a hierarchical structure in a progression of learning from simple to complex. There are six stages, from basic knowledge to deeper understanding, analysis, and evaluation. The pyramid of verbs is a powerful tool to develop a course. It can ensure that students develop a complete set of foundational skills. Now every assignment in every TechnoKids course includes a description of the Bloom’s thinking skills that are achieved.
