Overview
The STaR (School Technology and Readiness) Chart was developed by the Texas Education Agency Educational Technology Advisory Committee (ETAC) as an online resource tool for self-assessment of our campus’ and districts’ efforts to effectively integrate technology across the curriculum.
The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 , emphasizes student achievement and assessment of fundamental knowledge and skills. It also requires students to be technology literate by the end of the 8 th Grade.
The Texas Campus STaR Chart does the following:
It is a tool designed for use in technology planning, budgeting for resources, and evaluation of progress in local technology projects.
Produces a profile for our campus’ status toward reaching the goals of the Long Range Plan for Technology (LRPT) and No Child Left Behind.
The Texas Public Star Chart Is an online tool to allow all stakeholders to view the technology readiness of all campuses across the state.
The Texas Teacher STaR Chart is completed by the individual teachers models and correlates with the Texas Campus STaR Chart. It also draws a variety of national and state technology guidelines.
* This information was taken from the Texas Campus STaR Chart letter to all Texas Administrators.

Rating Your Campus
We will first view the STaR Chart by clicking on the icon below.
We will then rate our campus using the information below:
Read each section of the four areas of the STaR Chart.
Select the cell in each category that best describes your campus.
Enter the corresponding number (1=Early Tech 2=Developing Tech 3=Advanced Tech 4=Target Tech) in the chart
Add up all numbers across and get the total
Based on the total number, use the scale below to rate each area:
6-8 pts. Early Tech
9-14 pts. Developing Tech
15-20 pts. Advanced Tech
21-24 pts. Target Tech

Ryan Elementary STaR Chart
Let’s see how our results compare to how the campus did!!

Summary
After looking at our 2008-2009 Texas Campus STaR Chart Summary what did we find?
Teaching and Learning 15 Advanced Tech
Educator Preparation & Development 14 Developing Tech
Leadership, Admin., Instructional Support 18 Advanced Tech
Infrastructure for Technology 14 Developing Tech

Conclusion
In reviewing the results what have we learned:
Ryan Elementary Schools’ strong area lies in leadership, administration, and instructional support
As a whole, we are performing well in teaching and learning.
Our two areas of weakness deal with educator preparation and development as well as infrastructure for technology.
What can we do as a campus to increase our technology awareness in the areas of need?
(Discuss amongst each other and presenter will record responses to possible solutions)

Technology Goals for the Upcoming School Year
Provide more staff development sessions for teachers in the area of technology, both online and face-to-face.
Teachers need to be able to demonstrate more of the SBEC Technology Application Standards.
Provide our campus with internet access in more than 50% of the classrooms.
Increase our number of technical staff on campus.
Provide access to online learning for both students and teachers.

I would like to thank Ryan Elementary School Principal, Mrs. Sandra Munoz for allowing me to present this information to you.
