The document summarizes an 8th grade technology proficiency project conducted by the Morristown Central School District. It describes the development of a three-part proficiency test to assess students' technology skills and determine what percentage met proficiency standards. Results from the multiple choice section showed an average score of 46% correct, below expectations, indicating that the current technology curriculum was not adequately preparing students. The district will look to improve coordination of technology instruction across grades and develop a comprehensive technology curriculum.
