Tech Tips

NAD is giving deeper study to standards-based learning, particularly its relationship to the curriculum design process and the alignment of grading/reporting practices.  Future topics will explore essential questions and big ideas, unit and lesson planning, unpacking of standards, standards-based grading and reporting, alignment of assessments to standards, and use of data by schools.

Between the Adventist Learning Community and the Adventist Education Technology webpages, you will find a wealth of information on what and how to use technology to engage the students entrusted to you in your school. Be sure to check out our online store to see the technology options available to you at NAD negotiated pricing.
