Trajectory Curriculum
Trajectory powered by Global Academics
Starting in kindergarten, students at Bethel Christian Academy come weekly to the computer lab to increase their computer knowledge. The Trajectory curriculum is comprised of four comprehensive units per year designed by technology coordinators with years of practical experience teaching K-5 computer literacy. Each unit is designed to encourage teachers to integrate current classroom studies as the academic focus. The curriculum spirals so students review and reinforce skills as they learn new ones from kindergarten through 5th grade. Trajectory is based on a technology scope and sequence that identifies over 350 learning objectives in 10 different technology areas including word processing, spreadsheets, desktop publishing, graphic design, multimedia, and internet use. These literacy objectives establish the framework for a technology program that ensures continuity as students move from grade to grade. This curriculum is constantly maintained to ensure the integration of new technology. By the time students are in the 5th grade, they are confident in applying the basics of the Microsoft® Office Suite.
