STaR stands for School Technology and Readiness

It is a tool for districts that is aligned with the Long-Range Plan for Technology, 2006-2020.

To create and/or update the district’s technology plan. To help conceptualize your campus or district vision of

technology. To set benchmarks and goals. Campuses and districts

may use the chart to identify current education technology profiles, establish goals, and monitor progress.

To measure student and teacher proficiencies with regard to the integration of technology into all content areas.



By the campus and district to document progress toward meeting No Child Left Behind, Title II, Part D requirements for technology literacy for students and teachers as well as technology integration across the curriculum. Our state's definition of technology literate is proficiency in the Technology Applications TEKS for students and the SBEC Technology Applications Standards for teachers.

To apply for grants. The Texas Campus STaR Chart will help schools identify their educational technology needs as they apply for grants.

To determine funding priorities. Education administrators and policymakers can use the Texas Campus STaR Chart to determine where to allocate funds.

Conclusions/Discussions Cater Elementary has moved all areas from

Developing Tech in 2006-2007 to Advanced Tech by 2008-2009.

Educator Preparation and Development was an overall low scoring area. What opportunities can we create to improve in this area?

What can we do to keep improving our student technology use and incorporate more technology into the classroom?
