10. How is STaR Chart Conducted? Teachers in Texas must complete the survey online and use the profile annually to gauge their progress in integrating technology into teaching and learning. Then campus and district summary data is collected and is reported to school boards, community groups, and technology planning committees . This helps to show stakeholders how it is aligned with state and local goals. Statewide summary data is reported to state and federal policymakers.
11. Summary Technology Instruction is now mandated by: NCLB – all students must be technology literate by the end of 8th grade NCLB – all teachers must be technology literate NCLB – technology must be fully integrated across all curriculum areas by Dec 31, 2005 Texas SBOE has mandated that all enrichment TEKS will be taught (K-8 Technology TEKS are enrichment TEKS) Texas TEKS for secondary courses all have technology expectations SBEC now requires technology competencies of all beginning teachers Technology applications textbooks are available for adoption
12. Summary Continued “The Teacher STaR Chart survey enables teachers to see what the expectations for Technology and Instruction are for all Texas teachers and to self-assess their progress toward meeting these expectations. Teachers are then able to use the results and the expectations to plan not only for their own staff development, but also to plan for the integration of technology according to the state guidelines into their curricular area.”
