What is a ?

COMPUTER-TECH CLASS applies synthesis learning in a real life context and embraces a RUBRIC assessment for measuring student performance.
ASSESSMENT is the measurement to view how kids are getting better in doing meaningful and significant tasks.
RUBRIC as a grading tool, is available to students for self-assessment, as they evaluate their learning steps at their own level of performance. To meet minimum standards, students are guided through a set of directions.
COMPUTER-TECH CLASS ASSESSMENT is not based on right or wrong answers, but rather focuses on the student’s ability to produce a quality project.
From an OUTCOME-BASED EDUCATION perspective, a grading RUBRIC acknowledges the fact that all students do not learn at the same rate, on the same day, and in the same way. With developmental learning, a RUBRIC is the assessment design that completes a strong curriculum and grade level appropriate instruction.
COMPUTER-TECH CLASS challenges Students to demonstrate proficiency with software programs to complete tasks while creating original projects.
AUTHENTIC ASSESSMENT is their ability to replicate the standards of performance that typically face workers in real life. Thus a grading RUBRIC emphasizes additional criteria elements beyond the prescribed set of instructions or rules.
