K-12 Computer Science Standards in Nevada

The Nevada Academic Content Standards for Computer Science and Integrated Technology cover core concepts in the field of computer science and focus areas in digital citizenship, digital communication, and innovative design that every student should master to become computationally literate members of society. The Nevada Academic Content Standards for Computer Science and Integrated Technology also include the practice behaviors that students will be actively engaged in as they learn, adapt, and employ these standards to produce computational artifacts. All curricular decisions that districts, schools, and teachers make regarding computer science and integrated technology education for every K-12 student in Nevada should be based on these standards.

Code With Us provides full-year grade specific K-12 Computer Science curriculum that aligns with the Nevada K-12 Computer Science standards. Nevada’s vision is that students are informed citizens who can:

• Critically engage in public discussion on CS and technology topics,

• Develop as learners, users, and creators of CS knowledge and artifacts,

• Better understand the role of computing in the world around them; and

• Learn, perform, and express themselves in other subjects and interests.
