Tennessee 6-8 (Outdated) Framework

Standards

Standard Description
CCP.1 Identify the advantages, disadvantages and unintended consequences of computing devices. Lessons
CCP.2 Analyze the relationship between human and computer interactions to improve the device. For example, student A watches student B use a simple communication device. Student A updates the tool for improved use. Lessons
CCP.3 Identify and describe multiple considerations and tradeoffs when designing or selecting computing system, such as functionality, cost, size, speed, accessibility, and aesthetics. Lessons
CCP.4 Construct optimized models of computing systems. Lessons
CCP.5 Create structured processes to troubleshoot problems with computing systems. Lessons
CCP.6 Define protocols in relation to a set of rules. Lessons
CCP.7 Construct protocols that can be used to share information between people or devices. For example: a binary communication protocol using lights. Lessons
CCP.8 Compare the relative strengths and weaknesses of unique protocols considering security, speed, and reliability. Lessons
CCP.9 Create models of networks that include packets and domain name server (DNS). Lessons
CCP.10 Identify steps to ensure security measures are in place to safeguard online information. Lessons
CCP.11 Create cyphers to encrypt data that can be transferred between users. Lessons
CCP.12 Explain how encryption can be used to safeguard data that is sent across a network. Lessons
CCP.13 Evaluate the accuracy and precision of various forms of data collection. Lessons
CCP.14 Identify and define the limiting factors to specific forms of data collection. Lessons
CCP.15 Describe how different formats of stored data represent tradeoffs between quality and size. Lessons
CCP.16 Represent data using different encoding schemes, such as binary, Unicode, Morse code, shorthand, studentcreated codes. Lessons
CCP.17 Explain the processes used to collect, transform, and analyze data to solve a problem using computational tools. Lessons
CCP.18 Revise variables and constants in computational models to more accurately reflect real-world systems. For example in an ecosystem model, introducing predators as a new variable. Lessons
CCP.19 Solicit and integrate peer feedback as appropriate to develop or refine a program. Lessons
CCP.20 Compare different algorithms that may be used to solve the same problem in terms of their speed, clarity, and size. Lessons
CCP.21 Provide proper attribution when code is borrowed or built upon. Lessons
CCP.22 Interpret the flow of execution of algorithms and predict their outcomes. Lessons
CCP.23 Design, develop, and present computational artifacts such as mobile applications that address social problems both independently and collaboratively Lessons
CCP.24 Develop programs, both independently and collaboratively, that include sequences with nested loops and multiple branches. (Clarification: At this level, students may use block- based and/or text-based programming languages.) Lessons
CCP.25 Identify the purpose of variables in relation to programming Lessons
CCP.26 Create variables that represent different types of data and manipulate their values. Lessons
CCP.27 Define and use procedures that hide the complexity of a task and can be reused to solve similar tasks. (Clarification: Students use and modify, but do not necessarily create, procedures with parameters.) Lessons
CCP.28 Decompose a problem into parts and create solutions for each part. Lessons
CCP.29 Use an iterative design process (e.g., define the problem, generate ideas, build, test, and improve solutions) to solve problems, both independently and collaboratively. Lessons
CCP.30 Analyze the positive and negative impacts of computing technology. Lessons
CCP.31 Recognize there are tradeoffs in computing. Lessons
CCP.32 Explain how social interactions can allow for multiple viewpoints. Lessons
CCP.33 Demonstrate an understanding of digital security. Lessons
