4. What is the STaR Chart?
The School Technology and Readiness (STaR) Chart is an online
resource tool for self-assessment of your campus and districts
efforts to effectively integrate technology across the
curriculum.
5. Where does the STaRChart initiate from?
The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 requires that students be
technology literate by the end of the eighth grade.In order to
assess progress toward meeting these standards, teachers must
complete the Texas Teacher STaR Chart.Campuses and districts must
complete the Texas Campus STaR Chart online each year and use the
profiles to gauge their progress annually in order to comply with
federal and state requirements.
6. How will the STaR Chart help campuses?
The STaR chart will allow campuses and districts to see what their
current educational technology profiles look like.It can also
provide evidence in the progress being made in meeting the Long
Range Plan for technology.The best thing the Chart will do is to
show what areas your campus and district should focus on to improve
the level of technology integration to ensure the best possible
teaching and learning for all students.
