Grades 6-8 will cover skills outlined in the updated

Archdiocesan Computer Skills Continuum  which is posted

on the Downloads page at St. Patrick’s website. 

The classes will be designed to teach the students these

computer skills while supporting the curriculum that is being

taught in their classrooms.  Collaboration with the classroom

teachers will guide the weekly lessons. 

Students will receive a grade for computer skills,

conduct and effort.

The grading scale will be the same as the one used

in the core classes.

A rubric/scoring guide will be given to the students at the

beginning of each project.  On it will be the directions for the

project and a guide for how the project will be graded.

Computer Skill Grade will be based on:

·        Following directions

·        Mastery of Computer skill

·        Time on task

·        Following established classroom management

         system

Effort grade will be based on:

·        How well student follows directions

·        How much individual help student needs to finish

         project
