The Texas Teacher STaR Chart has been developed around the four key areas of the Long-Range Plan for Technology, 2006-2020: Teaching and Learning; Educator Preparation and Development; Leadership, Administration and Instructional Support; and Infrastructure for Technology. The Texas Teacher STaR Chart is designed to help teachers, campuses, and districts determine their progress toward meeting the goals of the Long-Range Plan for Technology, as well as meeting the goals of their district. The Texas Teacher STaR Chart can assist in the measurement of the impact of state and local efforts to improve student learning through the use of technology as specified in No Child Left Behind, Title II, Part D. It also can identify needs for on-going professional development and raise awareness of research-based instructional goals.

Editor's Notes
- #2 I think that every presentation regarding finance or investments has to be grounded in some type of metaphor. The right metaphor allows the audience to feel immediately comfortable with the presentation even though they may not have much prior knowledge on the subject matter. To me, sailing has always seemed to provide just the right terms to describe both the planning and patience required of a successful investor. Whether it be “charting the course” of an investment plan or having the patience required to navigate choppy markets, sailing and investing can make for a compelling presentation.

- #3 This slide lets the audience know that everyone is at “some stage” of retirement planning.
- #4 As one of the largest fee-only investment managers in the state of Georgia, our job is to help you chart out your own course to retirement. Here, presenters should place their credibility statement, education, title, and/or years of experience.
- #5 This slide begins with “written financial plan”, which is a critical step in being able to navigate any path towards retirement. In any financial presentation, it is important to help the audience establish and understand their goals. Understanding this process is to “chart the course” for each individual in the room. Every financial professional should have a different take on this, but typically there will be between two and three planning phases for a given audience/client. If three goals are needed, you can simply add to the graphic. Financial professionals should feel free to customize the language labeled in bullet points for each phase. Note: To add another goal to the SmartArt graphic on this slide, click in the graphic to activate the SmartArt text pane. Click at the end of the last bullet in the pane, press Enter, and the press Shift+Tab to start another first-level bullet. A new section will be added to the graphic automatically and existing elements automatically resized. To add the items under the new goal, press Enter in the text pane to create a new paragraph and then press Tab to demote the new paragraph to the second level.
- #6 This slide lays out the overall objective of the presentation; which is how to achieve or start working towards a “successful retirement”. It starts with a “written financial plan”, and moves clock-wise – all centered around the main goal. On this continuum, buttons can be added or removed, depending upon the financial professional giving the presentation. A successful retirement plan has many moving parts and each of them must serve a unique function in carrying you to retirement. Regardless of your situation, the journey to retirement is likely dotted with some storms and choppy seas along the way. Here, I have laid out what I believe to be the very basic principles necessary for any successful retirement plan.
- #7 This slide illustrates more of a timeline or progression for completing major savings during the course of an investor’s lifetime. The slide serves to answer the age-old question, “Where am I now and where do I start?”.
- #8 This is a visual that should be discussed with the audience. It describes the relationship between risk and reward. Notice that the relationship between the two is very familiar; the higher the risk an investment carries, the higher your potential payoff will be. Likewise, lower risk investments carry little or no reward. This slide is an extremely simple explanation of the risks involved in different investments, but it is important to understand the basics before you move forward.
- #9 As you’re accumulating, this is a logical order in which to contribute to your commonly-used retirement savings vehicles. Financial professionals should feel free to customize their own hierarchy so that the audience has a clear, visual understanding of how investment “blocks” should build on each other.
