The New Tech Network Learning Outcomes are five research-based outcomes designed to allow teachers to support and assess students based on a holistic picture of their skills while meeting state academic requirements.We believe that schools should prepare each student for post secondary success with the knowledge skills and mindsets to be ready for college and career. These foundational skills for future success are codified in five learning outcomes.

The New Tech Network Learning Outcomes are Knowledge and Thinking, Collaboration, Agency, Oral Communication, and Written Communication.

Knowledge and Thinking

is the ability to reason, problem-solve, develop sound arguments or decisions, and create new ideas by using appropriate sources and applying the knowledge and skills of a discipline.

Collaboration

involves a group and individual’s ability to contribute to group tasks.

Agency

is a combination of academic mindsets and the ability to take ownership over one’s learning.

Oral Communication

involves the ability to communicate knowledge and thinking orally.

Written Communication

is the ability to effectively communicate knowledge and thinking through writing by organizing and structuring ideas and using discipline appropriate language and convention

NTN Learning Outcomes in the Classroom

When teachers intentionally design, scaffold, and assess students in the NTN Learning Outcomes, students will be prepared for both college and career opportunities that follow their postsecondary experience. The NTN Learning Outcomes are an essential component of the project and problem-based learning curriculum and instruction model used by every NTN school. New Tech Network has created key tools and resources to aid in the implementation of NTN Learning Outcomes.
