Textbook: CCNA 1 Networking Basics  & CCNA 2 Routers and Routing Basics

Textbook is online at http://cisco.netacad.net

Parent and Student Contact: Parents with an email address will be given interims and grade reports at the end of the quarters and semesters by email. For parents without email, a printed grade report will be sent home with the student.

Major Concepts/Content: This course prepares students to become network engineers and prepares them for entrance into a technology career field or for further technology study.  The program includes a complete range of basic and advanced networking concepts – from pulling cables through such complex concepts as subnet masking rules and strategies.  Successful completion of this course and the Cisco Networking 2 course should prepare the student to pass the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) examination.

Major Instructional Activities: The program teaches students to design, build, and maintain small to medium-sized networks.  Activities are conducted in a lab setting using computers, servers, and routers that students assemble into functional networks.  During the course students will participate in threaded case study discussions.

Major Evaluative Techniques: Students will demonstrate their knowledge through tests, hands-on demonstrations, and projects. 

Essential Objectives: Upon completion of the course, students should be able to

·         ·         Differentiate between OSI model and industry standards

·         ·         Convert decimal to binary numbers

·         ·         Describe network topologies

·         ·         Explain IP addressing, including subnet masks

·         ·         Identify networking components

·         ·         Prepare basic network designs

·         ·         Understand beginning router configuration protocols

SKILLS

Cisco Academy students will be evaluated based upon the quality of their design work, hands-on lab performance and testing. Projects will be analyzed and evaluated for meeting the essential objectives, thoroughness, and presentation quality.  In addition, the students will be evaluated on their ability to cooperatively work together and solve problems.

Cisco Academy course work completed will be analyzed and evaluated for accuracy and project mastery of essential concepts. Written and oral reports will be graded for content and form.

Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:

·                Cooperatively work as a member of a design team.

·                Demonstrate knowledge of WANs and Routers.

·                 Demonstrate an understanding of routing and routing Protocols

·                       Demonstrate an understanding of distance vector routing Protocols.

·                       Demonstrate an understanding of basic router troubleshooting.

·                Managing Cisco IOS software

·                       Demonstrate an understanding of Transport Control Protocols - TCP         

·                 Describe and operate Access Control Lists

 

 

 

AFNORTH International Middle/High School’s Continuous School Progress goal is:

   “All students will improve their written communication skills across the curriculum.” 

The 6 + 1 Trait model is the model selected to improve school-wide writing in all subject areas.  The 6 + 1 Trait writing framework is a powerful way to learn and use a common language to refer to characteristics of writing as well as establish a common vision of what “strong” writing looks like.  Teachers and students will use the 6 + 1 Trait model to identify areas of strength and weakness as they continue to strive towards continued writing improvement.  Success of all students requires that the 6 + 1 Trait become a consistent and integral component of each course taught at AFNORTH International Middle/High School.
