1 K-8 Keyboarding Standards and Benchmarks for Hopkins Public Schools August 2011 Contents: Background Expectations for Keyboarding Instruction Expectations for Student Progress (Accuracy and Speed) Keyboarding Standards and Benchmarks Based on Hopkins TILS (Technology & Information Literacy Standards) which are drawn from standards developed by MEMO (Minnesota Educational Media Organization), ISTE (International Society for Technology in Education), and the Framework for 21st Century Learning Grade-Level Rubrics Resources and Helpful Documents References
2 Background The Hopkins Technology and Information Literacy Standards (TILS) provide benchmarks for enriching and enhancing curriculum projects through the use of computer and other technology tools that enable students to access and present information. Although other methods for computer input are being developed, including speech and handwriting recognition, the keyboard is likely to continue to be a major input device for the foreseeable future. Therefore, in order for our students to be fluent computer users and participate fully in computer-based opportunities for enhanced learning, they need to learn proper keyboarding techniques and good keyboarding habits at an early age. Traditionally, formal keyboarding skills have been taught to 3 rd or 4 th grade students (Vicki D. Bruns, 2007), since students are believed to have developed sufficient coordination and motor skills by that time. However, our kindergarten through 2 nd grade students also use computers for a variety of learning activities, and therefore they need to be introduced to the keyboard, learning such aspects of keyboarding as proper posture, left and right hand keys, home row, the shift key, the space bar, and the delete key. The teachers in Hopkins Public Schools will use Type To Learn 4 for instruction and reinforcement in keyboarding skills. Some introductory lessons may possibly be started during the spring of 2 nd grade, but more intensive practice time will be scheduled at the beginning of each school year in 3 rd, 4 th, 5 th, and 6 th grades. The standards and benchmarks charts included later in this document overview the skill expectations for each grade level. Hopkins will continue to explore possible online programs that students at any grade level can use to reinforce keyboarding skills at home. In addition, Hopkins staff will look for an alternative keyboarding instruction program that may be used with 5 th and 6 th graders once these keyboarding standards are firmly in place, since there may be a readiness among those older students to have experience with a different program from the one they have worked with intensively at their previous grade levels.
3 Expectations for Keyboarding Instruction Best practice for teaching keyboarding includes a combination of teacher-led activities and keyboarding practice using a self-paced software program. In order for students to achieve grade-level expectations, formal keyboarding practice should begin in 3 rd grade, with 20 minutes per day of instruction and practice for the first two months of school if possible. Teachers should be sure to continually observe their students throughout their keyboarding practice, reminding them to: stay on home row maintain good posture keep their eyes on the screen work on accuracy before speed Several helpful teaching resources are included in the Resources section of this document. Below is a excerpt from Keyboarding, Typing, and Computer Skills for Elementary Students, prepared by Victor Montemurro for Dr. Veronica McDermott, The School of Education and Human Services, St. John's University, The issue presented here isn t whether or not educators should allow for the teaching of typing or keyboarding in the primary grades, but why this teaching isn t occurring more consistently and regularly in a structured, skill-specific program. More specifically, a broad range of computer skills including keyboarding should be taught to young children, reinforced with regular practice, and supported by developmentally appropriate and educationally sound learning experiences. If we expect our students to reach keyboarding goals set out for them, we need to devote the time and effort to provide keyboarding lessons that are consistent and that are presented at the beginning of each school year.

Keyboarding Guidelines: The Irving School District in Texas has well written keyboarding guidelines. Take a look! Type to Learn 4 (TTL4) Default Settings: The diagnostic pre-test will automatically assign the WPM and typing accuracy goals for each student, so it is recommend that teachers give this test to each student as a starting point of the program. Secondly, default settings for WPM and typing accuracy are as follows, based on the research that Sunburst Technology conducted while developing the program. Note that you can change these settings if you wish in the Teacher Management area. Grades K-2: 6 WPM and 60% accuracy Grades 3-6: 15 WPM and 85% accuracy Grades 7-12: 20 WPM and 90% accuracy
