The Computing Foundations for a Digital Age (4565) course is one option for your students to meet the computer science (CS) graduation requirement passed during the 2024 legislative session. For more information on this course and its implementation, please see the Next Level Programs of Study page on the Commision for Higher Education’s website here.

To assist you in teaching this course, we have created an alignment of the Computing Foundations for a Digital Age (4565) Content Standards and Competencies to the Code.org curriculum.

We recognize that every school has unique needs and have developed three different scope and sequence options for potential use with the 4565 course. These options take into account the need to differentiate the 4565 course (in middle schools) from other computer science courses (and their curriculum) offered to 6th and 7th graders. All alignment options utilize six code.org units to align to the Computing Foundations for a Digital Age (4565)..
