Course structure

The course moves through introduction to gaming/esports; team building and health; positive communication; careers and education; then technology operation and maintenance. District sequence and performance expectations remain the governing scope.

Learning evidence and assessment

Learners complete unit activities, communication and teamwork evidence, career/education research, and approved technology-operation assessments. Assessment follows the district course structure rather than an external competition requirement.

Expectations and boundaries

Use approved school tools and follow health, conduct, privacy, and communication expectations. No personal account, live competition, or specific game is required unless separately authorized by the instructor.

Capstone

The Unit 05 Technology Operation and Maintenance Assessment is embedded in the final approved district unit rather than a separate capstone unit.

Access and support

Supplied materials and teacher-approved alternatives support all learners. Contact the instructor for accommodation or district-tool access needs.
