TechYes Curriculum for Grades 6-9

TechYES - Student Technology Literacy Certification Program for Grades 6-9 is a project-based certification program that can be structured many different ways. Our district's combined plan for the next three years will look for a student tech mentor model to improve the support and use of technology in our middle school. This curriculum looks like it might fit our needs. The structure of the program is set up to meet and exceed the ISTE NETS for students at the eighth grade level.

Pricing indicates that a starter kit for 30 students costs $495 which includes 30 Student Guides and Student Certifications, 1 TechYES Implementation Guide, 1 CD-ROM, 2 Posters, basic tech literacy activities, online project tools, technology literacy reports, and login privileges to the TechYES Web Portal. For a single site.

It will be worth $495 to explore this resource and run through one cycle to determine whether it meets our needs for the future.
