“The revised curriculum increases student engagement strategies with relevant activities and career awareness in all areas of IT. According to Glassdoor, 13 of the 25 highest-paying U.S. jobs for 2018 are in tech…. The ITX curriculum really hits the mark! Students learn new technology skills and explore in-demand jobs and careers. I’m learning something new every day and I’m the teacher.”

Computer Science Teacher, ITX Trainer and Support Specialist“IT Exploration’s new alignment with Precision Exams has given me a scope and sequence to follow as I create my curriculum maps for our technology courses at my school. Our school teaches the components of the ITX curriculum over the course of two semester-long classes in 8th and 9th grade. There is more than enough here now for teachers to teach a full year course or to pick and choose how they want to prioritize the standards within their shorter courses.”
