Background and purposeSTaR Chart RubricGoals of each Key AreaHow we scoredWhere we rankTrendsConclusion
“The goal [of education] must be to prepare young citizens to work and thrive in the 21st Century and to effectively interact in a global marketplace.”
-- Texas Long-Range Plan for Technology, 2006-2020
The Texas STaR Chart is used to measure technology proficiency at every campus in Texas, every year.
Searchable results are posted on the TEA website.
The Texas Campus STaR Chart measures technology proficiency in four key areas: Teaching and Learning Educator Preparation and Development Leadership, Administration and
Instructional Support Infrastructure for Technology
Teacher is facilitator, mentor and co-learner
Students have on-demand access to all appropriate technologies
Seamlessly-integrated complete activities in all core content areas
All Tech Apps courses offered, four taught

State Local Target
National Data collected by ATRL suggest a
slightly inverse relationship between technology proficiency and learner-centered approaches.
National Two percent of students produce media,
Web, or presentation products on a weekly basis.
State Texas reported that 29 percent of their
districts met state definitions of “fully integrating technology” in school year 2005–06.
State In 2008, when last reported, .9 percent
of schools met target in Teaching in Learning, .6 percent in Educator Preparation, 3.6 percent in Administration & Support and 6.7 percent in Infrastructure.
NBHS Trends
New Braunfels High School has stayed in the same range in the "Teaching & Learning" area of the Texas Campus STaR Chart since 2006-2007. We scored 13, 15 and 14 points in the last three years.
NBHS Trends
Even though we only scored one point fewer in the latest report, it was enough to reduce our rating from Advanced to Developing. This rating is consistent with most of the rest of the state.
New Braunfels High School should offer more professional development focusing on technology integration. The entire nation is lacking in this area, and it can't improve until education leaders make it a known, funded priority by offering a variety of learner-centered professional development.
