Agenda

• Define Texas STaR Chart as it relates to the Texas Long Range Plan for Technology

• Compare and contrast campus results with state results

• Discussion and Conclusion

“Accelerating technological change, rapidly accumulating knowledge, increasing global competition, and rising workforce capabilities around the world make the integration of relevant knowledge and skills essential to our students.”

- Vision 2020: Long-Range Plan for Technology, 2006-2020

Are we assuring that the knowledge and skills students learn match the knowledge and skills they need to live and work in the 21st Century?

How can we be sure?

• a systematic plan with step-by-step strategies that are implemented and measured over time

• an online tool is used to help districts, campuses, and teachers determine their progress in meeting the goals of the technology plan

Texas Long Range Plan and Texas STaR Chart

Four Key Areas that are measured

• Teaching and Learning• Educator Preparation and Development• Leadership, Administration, and

Instructional Support• Infrastructure for Technology

Please visit the STaR Chart website for more details about each of these areas.

An online tool designed

• For use in technology planning• For budgeting of resources• Evaluation of progress in local technology

projects

• To allow all stakeholders to view the technology readiness of all campuses across the state

• To produce a profile of our campus’ status toward reaching the goals of the Texas Long Range Plan for Technology

So, how are we doing?

For descriptions of each area refer to page 12 in STaR Chart document.

• Strongest is area Access to Professional Development (Advanced Tech)

• All other areas show significant difference and well into Developing Tech.

• Why are we so low when we show that we have access to professional development?

• Discuss with your peers.

We can get there…• by providing hands on opportunities for

teachers to implement new strategies for enhancing teaching and learning

• by providing on-going quality professional development to ensure proficiency

and …

embracing the vision.
