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 district’s 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.
14. Hopefully you can better understand why we use the STaR Chart and how the information can be useful for a school district. The STaR Chart will allow us to reach our maximum potential in the area of technology.
