Generation Y and Standards

Generation Y supports standards in several ways.

1. Technology Standards - Generation Y curriculum is correlated to the ISTE National Educational Technology Standards (NETS) for students standards.

2. Curriculm Standards - Each Gen Y project is aligned to the state or local content area standards.

• As part of the Gen Y curriculum, students learn about standards and how they relate to lesson plans and outcomes.
• As the projects are planned and built, the Gen Y online Project Organizing and Reporting Tool (PORT) guides the correlation process. The result is that the technology-enhanced lessons they create are aligned to state content and curriculum standards through the PORT.
• In addition, the Generation YES consultant who reviews every project will provide feedback on standards correlation and offer suggestions for strengthening that connection.

Therefore every lesson the student and partner-teacher create is correlated to content standards.

3. State Standards - Generation Y has been correlated to both middle and high school required technology objectives for the state of Texas. Students taking Gen Y in Texas meet the same requirements that Computers Science 1 provides.
