FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
- Approximately how long does a unit take to teach?
Each module contains 3 lessons, and each lesson takes about 30 minutes to complete.
- How long does it take to complete the middle school courses? Would it be enough for a semester credit?
Both foundations courses can be completed as a semester or full year.
- Where will my teachers find the time to teach this?
We have 8 units of materials with 5-8 lessons each at 30 minutes per lesson. Used predominantly during math and science hours, best practice shows progress at 2 to 3 times per week tops. The materials are great to “sprinkle” into an existing curriculum schedule and completion of all materials is not a requirement.
- Is the curriculum meant to be teacher directed?
The role of the teacher in all foundations and certifications courses is at minimum the facilitator and mentor. Teachers have the option to do more with the curriculum like deliver their own lectures, host review sessions, and help students through tough code problems. However, the bulk of the instruction is delivered in the platform using video lectures and tutorials.
- Can Middle School and High School take the Elementary course as an introductory course?
Definitely, at the middle school level for grade 6, the content is designed for very young learners in a classroom that is not dedicated to computer science instruction. At the middle school level in grades 7-8, they may benefit more from our “foundations” license which is aligned to state standards and fits into a block or bell schedule as a dedicated course.
- Can some lessons be skipped due to time, or do they build on each other, so cannot be skipped?
Units are irrespective of each other. They are not designed to be sequential. Some lessons (less than 10) build off of topics from previous lessons, and this is stated in the lesson. Most lessons can be taught in any order. The platform has a suggested order that teachers are free to deviate from by skipping lessons or prioritizing lessons that are relevant to topics they are learning in class.
- What can students do with this certification? Will employers know about these certifications?
The Knowledge Pillars HTML & CSS Coding Specialist industry-recognized certification is the best way to lay the foundation and prove to potential employers and college admission boards that students have the skills needed to perform the relevant coding tasks that will bring web pages and applications to life. Knowledge Pillars provides industry-leading practice and certification exams aimed at K-12 or college-level students and industry professionals. These 100% web-based certifications and skills validation services are globally recognized and highly sought after by teachers and potential employers, offering unique credentials for unique skills.
- Are there particular requirements for computers students to use or have in order to effectively do these courses?
Yes, we have a hardware specs sheet that you can request from your sales representative. We recommend a computer with a keyboard, headphones, and a mouse.
