Computer technology permeates all curricular areas. The computer lab, in conjunction with the Library Media Center, is at the hub of the instructional program, providing research, writing and multimedia opportunities. Computers are also available in most classrooms. Computer skills are taught in the Unified Arts program. Visit our web site at: http://www.madison.k12.wi.us./blackhawk/blkhk.htm.
The goal of Talented and Gifted (TAG) programming is to make certain K-12 students consistently have learning opportunities that are challenging, systematic and continuous based on learning profile, readiness and student interest.
Student learning experiences include a broad range of opportunities that pushes a student to their next level of challenge and allows them to develop their talents. TAG programming may occur in the classroom, or in other settings. TAG programming is determined by ongoing evaluation and assessment of individual student needs. Each school has TAG resource support for ongoing consultation.
The Unified Arts program is comprehensively planned in physical education, computer technology, foreign language (French and Spanish) and music. Selections vary from one grade level to the next.
