Grading Scale
Grading ScaleGrading Scale is based on the absolute scale. 90 - 100 is an A; 80 - 89 is a B; 70 -79 is a C; 60 - 69 is a D; and any score below 60 is an F.The top three percentage points in each passing grade level will receive a "+" (plus) and the bottom four percentage points in each passing grade level will receive a "-"(Minus). |

Synergistic Modules were introduced in 1989 to revolutionize the way students are taught in Grades 7-9. Synergistic Modules are the original, most successful modular education program, with more than 4,000 labs in schools across the United States. Synergistic Modules encourage and enable systemic change, helping students become responsible for their own learning and freeing teachers to do what they do best – teach. The labs focus on a variety of core curriculum topics, including science, technology, engineering, and math. Engaging students through a multimedia curriculum and hands-on activities, Synergistic Modules are a proven method for effectively delivering core content knowledge at the middle-level and the lower grades.
Synergistic Modules have been part of the Related Arts curriculum here at Northside since the Fall of 2000. Our labs were completely updated during the summer of 2016. We currently have two identical sixteen Module labs with a total of thirty-two workstations.
We have recently made the following changes to our labs:
Lab 134 has the following modules:
Bio Engineering; CADD; CNC Manufacturing; Computer Graphics & Animation; Energy, Power, & Mechanics; Electricity; Engineering Towers; Forces; Forensic Science; Graphic Communication; Ideas and Innovations, Interior Design; Practical Skills; Research & Design; Robots and Rocketry & Space
Lab 136 has the following modules:
Bio Engineering; CADD; CNC Manufacturing; Computer Graphics & Animation; Energy, Power, & Mechanics; Electricity; Engineering Towers; Forces; Forensic Science; Graphic Communication; Ideas and Innovations, Interior Design; Practical Skills; Research & Design; Robots and Rocketry & Space
Students will complete three Modules each of nine weeks they are scheduled for ITE. Most student will have two nine-weeks of ITE as a seventh grader and again as an eighth grader. Students choosing GTT as an eighth grader will have a nine weeks of PLTW/GTT and nineweeks of ITE.

Project Lead the Way: Gateway to Technology |

PLTW's curriculum makes math and science relevant for students. By engaging in hands-on, real-world projects, students understand how the skills they are learning in the classroom can be applied in everyday life. This approach is called activities-based learning, project-based learning, and problem-based learning or APPB-learning.
Gateway To Technology is the PLTW middle school program. It is divided into six independent nine-week courses developed for grades six through eight. GTT is taught in conjunction with a rigorous academic curriculum and is designed to challenge and engage the natural curiosity of middle school students.
Northside offers three of the six GTT courses. This course will be offered second semester. Eighth graders will start with the Design & Modeling course; move into the Automation & Robotics; and finish with the Energy & Environment. These courses will only be offered second semester.

ITE Information
Industrial Technology Education -- ITE |
|
Students have two Electives during their day. Industrial Technology Education(ITE) is one of the Electives in the Related Arts rotation. Other courses in this rotation include Art, Family & Consumer Science, Health, Keyboarding, and Physical Education.
Most students enroll in ITE. ITE is a nine-week course in one of two Synergistic Systems, modular technology classes. Each modular technology class has fifteen modules or workstations. Students spend a minimum of seven days at each workstation with a partner. They are encouraged to work together on everything they do at their workstation except the Module Guide(Pretest) and Post Test.
This year we are also offering "Project Lead the Way"(PTLW) courses to our eighth graders. PLTW classes designed for middle school students are called the "Gateway to Technology"(GTT). GTT offers a series of classes designed to prepare middle school students for PLTW classes at the high school.
8th grade students enrolled in GTT this year will participate in two of the six classes. They will complete "Design & Modeling" third nine weeks and "Automation & Robotics" the forth nine weeks.
If you have questions regarding these classes, contact one of the Guidance Counselors or one of the Technology teachers at Northside.
