District emphasizes keyboarding as Keystone tests move online
Summary
Presenters told the Committee of the Whole that Keystone exams and many assessments are moving online and that keyboarding instruction will remain part of the library curriculum alongside reintroduced cursive lessons.
During questions after the presentation, the Chair asked whether Keystone exams allow students to respond in cursive or require printed answers. Mrs. Donato replied that Keystones have been administered online for several years and that statewide testing will continue moving online; she emphasized that keyboarding skills are part of the library curriculum alongside cursive instruction.
The district said keyboarding instruction will continue to be taught by Mrs. Wimmer in library as part of a package that also includes digital citizenship, so students receive both handwriting and computer skills practice ahead of increased online testing.
