Empower Your Students & Staff For “The Future of Work”

Bridge The Technology Gap With This COMPUTER SCIENCE AND LITERACY Program

The current curriculum is failing students.

For years, small improvements in the curriculum have managed to keep pace with the society we live in.

However, in the last decade, with the exponential growth of innovative technology changing the world as we know it, that curriculum has fallen behind.

It means students are missing out on crucial skill sets they need to shape their futures.

This isn’t the fault of principals or teachers.

We know you want the very best for your students and to create world-changers and a generational legacy for your school to be proud of.

But, you simply don’t have the tools, resources, knowledge, or time to not only master and teach the skills your students need but keep up with its ever-changing nature.

It leads to increasing frustration and self-deprecation for staff members.

Ultimately the increasing technological gap in schools is affecting everybody from students to staff (and even worried parents!)

Everybody wants a solution that provides:

Confidence that students are getting the technological skills they need to survive and thrive in the future world they’ll work in.
Confidence that teachers can collaborate and work with their students to give them support and guidance in class.
Confidence that the school and governing bodies are innovating at every opportunity.

That’s Where We At BTE & Our Computer Science And Digital Literacy Curriculum Come In!

Technology is always changing, and we are here to help.

Our overarching mission is that every student in every school has the opportunity to learn up-to-date digital literacy, computer science, graphic arts, data science, and more.

We do all of the research, gain all of the expertise, and work out how to combine knowledge and application in the classroom, so you don’t have to.

The result: Our project-based curriculum!

It effortlessly integrates into any school, classroom, and existing curriculum with fully organized materials and resources.

The benefit is twofold:

For students, it means they get an expert curriculum on “real-world” skills to help them prepare for the rigor and challenges of the “future of work.”

For teachers, it allows them to become part of a community of educators working together to upskill themselves and their students to work towards a better future.

Why Computer Science & Digital Literacy?

With the trajectory of current technology and the shifts it’s creating in the world we live in, computer science is fast becoming akin to math and English by way of a “must-have” qualification.

This generation, in particular, will be expected to have basic computer science skills.

For those that want to excel to even greater heights in their careers will need to take it a step further.

Our Computer Science & Digital Literacy program covers all of those bases.

We at BTE have developed a world-class computer science and programming curriculum for grades K-8 and just-in-time professional development.

It provides classroom teachers, computer teachers, and school leaders the tools and ability to integrate this crucial technology into the school day.

This program educates and empowers all grades.

They will learn in each course the foundations of Computing Systems, Networks & Internet, and the Impacts of Computing.

Then, just like any subject, they will be introduced to more complex concepts.

These concepts align directly with Common Core Computer Science Standards, CSTA K-8 Computer Science Standards, Beyond Technology Education Scope and Sequence Framework, and the ISTE Standards for Students.

This project-based curriculum is designed to:

Help students grow in content creation, coding, data analysis/visualization, and presentations.
Use a variety of current technology that is being utilized in business around the world to learn about digital citizenship/safety, computer science, graphic design, and web design.
Become goal-getters, develop relationship skills, make responsible choices, and instill a growth mindset.
And more!
