This transition from algebra to geometry class is designed to help support students for whom math has historically been challenging, although all students will experience challenge and growth with this course. This is a slower paced course with direct instruction, modeling, and plenty of practice to develop essential geometry skills, as well as continue to build math confidence. All learners in this class will also be enrolled in Data Nuggets, which is a separate .5 course that will work on their data analysis skills, fulfilling that graduation HS requirement. Data Nuggets will happen during the regular class time.

A storyline is a coherent sequence of investigations, in which each step is driven by students' questions that arise from their interactions with phenomena. At each step, students make progress on the classroom's questions to figure out a piece of a science idea. Each piece they figure out adds to the developing explanation, model, or designed solution. Each step may also generate questions that lead to the next step in the storyline. Together, what students figure out helps explain the unit's phenomena or solve the problems they have identified.
Learners will investigate and learn chemistry through:
Northern Lights Storyline
Diamond Storyline
Mangrove Storyline
Bread Storyline
Battery Storyline
Chocolate Storyline

A great class for someone that knows nothing about computers or anyone that has an interest but wonders how computers can think in 1’s and 0’s? Or how they manage to fit all those websites through the series of tubes to get to your computer? Or how those nifty LED shirts work? Or how google maps figures out the fastest route home? It is designed as a group problem-solving, exploration, and discussion course, rather than memorizing facts about computers.

This course is an intro to TNW’s Computer Science Program of Study (includes graduation cords!)"" There may also be some opportunities for college credit with this course for students that would like to complete additional modules

This course is for anyone that's completed pre-algebra (or will be enrolled during the 2027-2028 school year) A student that's never done more than start google meet or log on to social media will be just as successful as a student that's learned some programming already, (and in some cases more successful).

This course provides a broad overview of the major ideas, problems, of the internet, operating systems, and cyber security. We will be exploring the various layers that combine to make a modern computing system, from the way numbers are represented within a computer to how computers interact with each other via networks. We will delve into the mechanics and history of hacking to better understand how to protect networks and systems from criminal action. We will also be covering some of the hardware of how computers work and some hands-on labs like disassembling and re-assembling a desktop computer.
Throughout the course, we will also be discussing current events and ethical issues in technology. This course is the capstone in TNW’s Computer Science Program of Study

Tired of pwning n00bs without lettering or listing it on scholarship applications? Come join TEACH-NW’s ESports team and bring your school glory. We compete against other schools at Super Smash Bros Ultimate but may add other titles given student interest and availability. We welcome all skill levels and have consoles at our LCC campus for folks that don’t have access at home. Esports offers opportunities for student leadership roles, opportunities for scholarships, and can continue into many universities. In the past, we have met on Mondays and Wednesdays from 4-5 or 5:30pm, but that is subject to change depending on the titles we compete in. 6-8th grade students compete on Thursdays from 3pm-4:30pm

NOTE: for players unable to travel to Eugene, you may compete with us virtually, but must have stable internet connection, a personal console, as well as a capture card so that the team can view your screen (inexpensive component that can be purchases on amazon, etc).

This course is designed to introduce students to the concepts of forensic science and psychology in an investigative approach to these topics.
Forensic Science is the application of science to those criminal and civil laws that are enforced by police agencies in a criminal justice system. It involves all areas of science including biology, anatomy, chemistry, physics, and earth science with an emphasis on complex reasoning and critical thinking. Learners will engage in lectures, labs, case studies, online activities, and simulations. In psychology, learners will explore the ideas, theories, and methods of the scientific study of behavior and mental processes. They will examine the concepts of psychology through reading and discussion, and apply that understanding to case studies. Using scientific methods and behavioral analysis, students will collect and analyze evidence through case-studies and simulated crime scenes. This course will culminate in a mock trial of one of our cases. Writing and discussion will be an important component of this class.
