Four Levels of Progress used by the STaR chart

• Early Technology

• Developing Technology

• Advanced Technology

• Target Technology

• These are the four progressive levels designed within the STaR chart to measure progress of the Texas Long Range Plan for technology.

Four Key Areas of Focus for the Texas Long

Range Plan for Technology

• Teaching and Learning

• Educator Preparation

• Leadership and

Administrative Support

• Infrastructure for

Technology

• These are the four key areas of the Texas Long Range Plan for Technology

Teaching and Learning

• 2008–2009 (12)

• 2007-2008 (17)

• 2006-2007 (18)

• The backward moving direction of this trend is alarming. The first two years show us as advanced users, with a slight drop-off from year 1 to year 2. In the 3rd

year, a hugh decline of 5 points occurs for a total loss of 6 points in 3 years, digressing from advanced to developing user.

2008-2009 (Developing)

2007-2008 (Advanced)


Educator Preparation & and Development

• 2008–2009 (10)• 2007-2008 (15)• 2006-2007 (16)

• Once again, the school seems to be going in the wrong direction, starting off strong, losing momentum fast, moving from advanced to developing users in just 3 short years. Also showing the same loss of 6 points over that same time period. This tendency seems to mimic the trend of the above key area 1.




Leadership, Administration, & Instructional Support

• 2008–2009 (15)

• 2007-2008 (19)

• 2006-2007 (23)

• The negative movement continues as from up above in key areas #1 and #2. This time we are looking at an even larger deficit of 8 points in 3 years. 2008-2009 (Advanced)


2006-2007 (Target )

Infrastructure for Technology

• 2008-2009 (14)

• 2007-2008 (17)

• 2006-2007 (19)

• To no surprise, when looking at the numbers, we see the same extreme 5 point decline from advanced to developing users.




No Child Left Behind technology mandates:

• All students must be technology literate by the end of the 8th grade.

• All teachers must be technology literate.

• Technology must be fully integrated across all curriculum areas
