The Texas STaR Chart
(STaR – School Technology and Readiness)
The STaR Chart is an online
resource tool for self-assessment
of your campus’ and districts’
efforts to effectively integrate
technology across the curriculum.
STaR Chart Key Areas
The following will be a brief
overview of the key areas covered
in the STaR Chart online tool. To
get a more in-depth explanation of
the STaR Chart and its purpose
and to get statewide and
campus/district reports click on

Teaching and Learning
• Roles of teacher and learner must change
• Students can no longer be passive recipients of
instruction, but they must become active participants
in the learning process.
• Students must determine credibility of sources.
• Students must collaboratively construct, use, and
communicate knowledge.
• Learning and teaching must focus on connections to
students’ lives.
Educator Preparation and
Development
• There needs to be a retooling of the existing
professional core of the educational system.
• We must secure time, resources, and effective models
for educator professional development.
• There must be a change of supporting the move from
traditional schooling to 21st
century education.
• There will be an increase in need for teacher and
administrators due to the “baby boomer” retirements
and increased student population.
Leadership, Administration,
and Instructional Support
• Vision-building, administrator commitment, and skilled
leadership play a pivotal role in success.
• A significant challenge is upon us to provide visionary
school leadership with background needed to lead and
nurture change.
• Rapid change makes it impossible for one individual to
handle. There must be collaborative teams for ongoing
planning.
• Leaders must model effective use of technologies as
well as articulate clear expectations for faculty and
staff.
Infrastructure for
Technology
• Campuses must have robust connectivity and tools
needed to integrate technology into the teaching and
learning process.
• Infrastructure capacity must support promising
practices.
• Infrastructure must continue to be updated to
incorporate new and emerging technologies.
• Infrastructure is the critical element which supports
all other key areas.
STaR Chart Ratings
There are four levels of progress within the rating
system of the Texas STaR Chart. A school is rated in
each key area at a stage of Early
Technology, Developing Technology, Advanced
Technology, or Target Technology.
The following slide will show El Campo Middle School’s
ratings in each key area from the 2007-2008 STaR
Chart to the 2008-2009 STaR Chart.

Concerns
We have concerns as to why the
faculty feels we are going down in
all areas.
These concerns must be addressed
through our site-based decision
making team and goals must be
set to turn our campus back in the
right direction.

Statewide Averages
Statewide averages show the majority of
schools in the developing stage in three of
the key areas and one area in the advanced
stage.
At present our campus is showing the same
scenario as the state. In 2006-2007 and
2007-2008; however, we were also advanced
in Leadership, Admin., Instructional Support.
Conclusions
The Texas STaR Chart is a valuable tool that
we must begin to use in our Site-base
Decision Making Team and Campus
Improvement Plan to make sure ECMS is
moving the right direction into the
21st
Century.
