Maine Learning Results

Guiding Principles:  Each student must leave school as:

    1. A creative and practical problem solver who:
      1. Observes and evaluates situations to define problems;
      2. Frames questions, makes predictions, and designs data/information collection and analysis strategies;
      3. Identifies patterns, trends, and relationships that apply to solutions;
      4. Generates a variety of solutions, builds a case for a best response and critically evaluates the effectiveness of the response;
      5. Sees opportunities, finds resources, and seeks results;
      6. Uses information and technology to solve problems; and
      7. Perseveres in challenging situations;
    2. An integrative and informed thinker who: 
      1. Gains and applies knowledge across disciplines and learning contexts and to real life situations with and without technology;
      2. Evaluates and synthesizes information from multiple sources;
      3. Applies ideas across disciplines; and
      4. Applies systems thinking to understand the interaction and influence of related parts on each other and on outcomes

Science and Technology (top)

B2: Students use a systematic process, tools, equipment, and a variety of materials to design and produce a solution or product to meet a specified need, using established criteria.

    • Identify appropriate problems for technological design.
    • Design a solution or product.
    • Communicate a proposed design using drawings and simple models.
    • Implement a proposed design.
    • Evaluate a completed design or product.
    • Suggest improvements for their own and others’ designs and try out proposed modifications.
    • Communicate the process of technological design, including a review and description of the completed design or product.

D4: Students describe the force of gravity, the motion of objects and the nature of energy in light and waves.

e. Describe the effects of different types of force on an object and how unbalanced forces will cause changes in the speed or direction.

Math (top)

B. DATA: Students make measurements and collect, evaluate, analyze, and compute with data to describe or model phenomena and to make decisions based on data.

Technology Foundation Standards for All Students

The technology foundation standards for students are divided into six broad categories. Standards within each category are to be introduced, reinforced, and mastered by students. These categories provide a framework for linking performance indicators within the Profiles for Technology Literate Students to the standards. Teachers can use these standards and profiles as guidelines for planning technology-based activities in which students achieve success in learning, communication, and life skills.

Technology Foundation Standards for Students

Technology productivity tools

    • Students use technology tools to enhance learning, increase productivity, and promote creativity.

Technology research tools

    • Students use technology to locate, evaluate, and collect information from a variety of sources.
    • Students use technology tools to process data and report results.
    • Students evaluate and select new information resources and technological innovations based on the appropriateness for specific tasks.

Technology problem-solving and decision-making tools

    • Students use technology resources for solving problems and making informed decisions.
    • Students employ technology in the development of strategies for solving problems in the real world.
