Standards in this Framework
| Standard | Description |
|---|---|
| CSF.1 | The student will a) compare the structures, functions, and interactions between application software, system software, and hardware; and b) explore the relationship between hardware and software using the Internet of Things. |
| CSF.2 | The student will model how information is broken down into smaller pieces, transmitted as packets through multiple devices over networks and the Internet, and reassembled at the destination. |
| CSF.3 | The student will explain the role of protocols in transmitting data across networks and the Internet. |
| CSF.4 | The student will evaluate the scalability and reliability of networks, by describing the relationship between routers, switches, servers, topology and addressing. |
| CSF.5 | The student will identify and explain ways that sensitive data (assets) can be threatened by malware and other computer attacks, using appropriate terminology. |
| CSF.6 | The student will give examples of ways to protect sensitive data (assets) from malware and other computer attacks and evaluate them according to multiple criteria. |
| CSF.7 | The student will explain typical tradeoffs between usability and security and recommend security measures in a given scenario based on these (or other) tradeoffs. |
| CSF.8 | The student will write or adapt a program to validate its input and to avoid certain kinds of vulnerabilities. |
| CSF.9 | The student will evaluate the tradeoffs in how data elements are organized and where data is stored. |
| CSF.10 | The student will create interactive data visualizations using software tools to help others better understand real-world phenomena. |
| CSF.11 | The student will use data analysis tools and techniques to identify patterns in data representing complex systems. |
| CSF.12 | The student will develop a program working individually and in teams using a text-based language. |
| CSF.13 | The student will identify the expected output of a program given a problem and some input. |
| CSF.14 | The student will design and iteratively develop programs for practical intent or personal expression, incorporating feedback from users. |
| CSF.15 | The student will design and implement algorithms using a) sequencing of instructions; b) conditional execution; and c) iteration. |
| CSF.16 | The student will implement a program that accepts input values, stores them in appropriately named variables, and produces output. |
| CSF.17 | The student will trace the execution of an algorithm, illustrating output and changes in values of named variables. |
| CSF.18 | The student will apply the basic operations used with numeric and non-numeric data types in developing programs. |
| CSF.19 | The student will use predefined functions to simplify the solution of a complex problem. |
| CSF.20 | The student will apply simple algorithms to a collection of data. |
| CSF.21 | The student will create programs a) demonstrating an understanding that program development is an ongoing process that requires adjusting and debugging along the way; and b) using version control to create and refine programs. |
| CSF.22 | The student will use tools and methods for collaboration on a project to increase connectivity of people in different cultures and career fields. |
| CSF.23 | The student will evaluate the ways computing impacts personal, ethical, social, economic, and cultural practices. |
| CSF.24 | The student will explain the beneficial and harmful effects that intellectual property laws can have on innovation, including the impact of open source software. |
| CSF.25 | The student will explain the privacy concerns related to the collection and generation of data through automated processes that are not always evident to users |
