La Vernia ElementarySTaR Chart Analysis

Report to the FacultyJune 15, 2009

Measuring Performance

• Required annual technology assessment

• Comparability of progress data is essential

• Texas STaR Chart assessment instrument

• Teachers submit Teacher STaR Chart

• Teacher results feed Campus STaR Chart

Chart Basis

• STaR Chart based on the Texas LRPT (Long Range Plan for Technology)

• LRPT divided into four domains:Teaching and LearningEducator Preparation and DevelopmentLeadership, Administration and

Instructional Support Infrastructure for Technology

• STaR Chart Key Area = LRPT Domain

Levels of Progress

• Levels of Progress in STaR Chart Key Areas:Early TechDeveloping TechAdvanced TechTarget Tech

• Texas Education Agency sets goal to achieve Target Tech

Conclusions

• Greatest Strength: Infrastructure for Technology Thin clients Advanced wireless

• Greatest Weakness: Teaching and Learning Loss of supplemental grant funding “The Sage on the Stage” syndrome

• Marching orders Follow the TEKS/TA-TEKS Become “learning facilitators”
