ISTE Standards for Students
Computing education in K–12 schools includes computer literacy, educational technology, digital citizenship, information technology, and computer science. As the foundation for all computing, computer science is “the study of computers and algorithmic processes, including their principles, their hardware and software designs, their applications, and their impact on society” (Tucker et. al, 2006, p. 2).
Reviewing Changes Made to the Standards
New Areas of Study
Abstraction Algorithms
Programming & Development Impacts of Computing
Social Interaction Data
Systems Modeling & Simulation
Human/Computer Partnerships
Number of Standards Per Grade Level (new)
K 13 + 6 (5 + 1) 6 30 + 6 (17)
1 19 + 6 (4) 7 30 + 6 (17)
2 18 + 6 (5) 8 29 + 6 (11)
3 23 + 6 (11) 9-12 59 + 6 (38 + 1)
4 21 + 6 (8)
5 28 + 6 (11) 6 Recurring Standards
Local boards, administrators, and teachers are encouraged to develop local curriculum guides that incorporate these minimum grade-level standards as a foundation.
These local guidelines should detail ways students will demonstrate mastery of the standards in a logical progression through effective integration across all curricular areas.

Working with curriculum coaches to disperse standards among subject area teachers. Will reserve some standards for LMS.
Some Elementary and Middle school teachers have attended Code.org Foundations and Discoveries trainings. Several teachers have already been implementing Hour of Code, so DLCS is less frightening to them.
Waiting to see what A Plus College Ready has in the works for 9-12 for an Intro to Computer Science.
The key is to establish what teachers are already doing that meets the standards so no one sees it as “something else”.
