Information Technology Instructional Guides

to support
Vermont's Information Technology Grade Expectations

The Information Technology Guide to Instruction was created as a support document to accompany the Information Technology Grade Expectations. The Grade Expectations define where students should be assessed. The premise of this document is that prior to assessment, intentional instruction and opportunities for practice must take place. Consequently, this document outlines at which grade each Expectation should be introduced, practiced and assessed.
