We
are pleased to announce the completion of the San Antonio ISD Grades
6-8 TA:TEKS curriculum writing effort. This 18 week curriculum is
composed of problem-based thematic units, designed with middle school
students’ interests in mind. Students will acquire computer
skills within the framework of real-world problem solving. These
units are appropriate for middle school students from sixth through
eighth grade, and include topics such as the San Antonio Spurs,
Food and Nutrition, and Ice Cream!
The
final unit is a student-centered culminating activity, in which
students solve a problem using strategies and providing products
of their own choosing, using the skills they have learned in the
previous five units.
