Elementary School Division

         The core learning principles within the Elementary School Division at TCA are based upon an elementary-aged student’s
innate ability to absorb a multitude of information. Elementary students are curious, full of questions, and seeking answers. It is the
goal of this Technology Plan to provide teachers with technology in their classrooms that can assist in leveraging the abilities of their
students as summarized above. This will allow teachers to meet more specific learning goals for their curriculum and classroom.
