Idaho

At Rex, we have matched Idaho’s vision with our own.

At Rex Academy, we are dedicated to building quality computer science education for all ages. Our core belief is that computer science should be available to all learners as it is a gateway to many opportunities.

Learning to code is comparable to learning reading, writing, and math for this generation. Rex makes this process easy and enjoyable for all!

Alabama is a STEM rich state.

Idaho standards were developed with several related existing standards from CSTA (Computer Science Teacher Association), ISTE (International Society for Technology in Education), Idaho Department of Education, and Idaho CTE Programming Standards.

CSTA 2016 Computer Science draft standards are the primary source since it aligns with the new K-12 CS Framework. The K-12 CS framework provides overarching, high-level guidance per grade bands, while the standards provide detailed student performance expectations at particular grade levels.

State Of Idaho Requirements

HB 648 requires each high school in Idaho to make at least one computer science course available to students by fiscal year 2020.

Classes can be offered virtually if a district cannot accommodate direct instruction.

Did you know?

In Idaho, teachers can acquire 6 – 12 licensing or 5 – 9 endorsements by passing the state – approved Praxis CS exam. Only 1 Computer Science teacher graduated in 2018 across the state, creating a massive shortage of teachers.

Idaho has seven Core Computer Science Practices:

  1. Fostering an Inclusive Computing Culture 
  2. Collaborating Around Computing 
  3. Recognizing and Defining Computational Problems 
  4. Developing and Using Abstractions 
  5. Creating Computational Artifacts 
  6. Testing and Refining Computational Artifacts 
  7. Communicating About Computing
