The Texas Teacher STaR Chart May Be Used to:
Assist teachers in determining professional development needs based on a current educational technology profile.
Provide data that feeds into the Texas Campus STaRChart so that more accurate school information is gained and
documented.
The Texas Teacher STaR Chart Also May Be Used to:
Determine funding priorities based on teacher and classroom needs.
Provide data that can support the need for grants or other resources.
Help conceptualize the campus or district vision of technology.
Assist campuses in documenting the use of No Child Left Behind, Title II, Part D formula and discretionary funds.
Purpose to assess needs and set goals for classroom
use of technology to support student achievement
Measures campus growth in Teaching &
Learning, Educator Preparation, Administration & Support, and Infrastructure
Matters because it connects to student learning
and campus technology funding
