No Child Left Behind • Provide professional development in the integration of advanced technologies, including emerging technologies, into curricula and instruction and in using those technologies to create new learning environments… • To enable teachers to use the Internet and other technology to communicate with parents, other teachers, principals and administrators, as well as retrieve Internet-based learning resources (NCLB, Title 2, Part D, SubPart 1, Sec. 2416 (a) (1) A, B, C).

8. Needs Assessment Process • Step 1: Texas District STaR Chart • Step 2: Texas Campus STaR Chart • Step 3: Levels of Technology Implementation (LOTI) Survey • Step 4: LOTI Framework Classroom Observations

9. STaR Chart & Vision 2005 By the year 2005, after a comprehensive needs assessment process, • teachers, and administrators will seamlessly integrate technology into their daily operations, as well as • model information and technology literacy to students and the community. Teaching & Learning Educator Preparation Administration Infrastructure

10. Key Area 1: Teaching & Learning • Teacher is facilitator, mentor, co-learner; students are focused on inquiry as technology transforms the learning process. • Students work collaboratively to propose, assess, and implement solutions to real world problems, as well as communicate effectively. • Technology is integral to all subject areas.

11. Key Area 2: Educator Preparation Focus on creation, communication of technology-supported, learner-centered projects, vertical alignment of TA:TEKS, and use of the Texas Learning/Library Connection by entire school community. Also, 100% SBEC Standards alignment, educating the community, anytime, anywhere learning activities delivered through a variety of mediums.

12. Key Area 3: Administration & Support Services Use of local funds to supplement Tech Allotment, TIF, E-Rate, competitive grants, as well as active support of the campus technology plan. Also, the campus tech plan is focused on student success, administrators using tech for planning and decision-making, assignment of a campus instructional technologist for each campus, as well as incentives for campus-based professional development.

13. Key Area 4: Infrastructure for Technology 3 years or less replacement cycle, a 4 or less students per Internet-connected multimedia computer, on-demand access for every student, Internet connectivity in all rooms on campus, adequate bandwidth, easy access including wireless, one educator per computer, fully equipped classrooms including digital still and video cameras, scanners, document cameras and projectors.

18. Cluster Area Comparisons

19. Texas STaR Chart Comparison • Small Group Activity: • Using the Texas Campus STaR Chart survey, review key area results for the district and compare them to your campus level results. • What are the differences, if any? • Do the results accurately reflect your group’s experiences? Why or why not? • Be prepared to share your responses with the whole group.

20. Step 2: Levels of Technology Implementation (LOTI) • What impact is technology having on student achievement? • How has technology professional development changed teaching practices? • How are teachers and librarians "integrating" technology into their instruction?

21. What LOTI Level?

22. How we achieve LOTI Level 4, or the STaR Chart’s Target Tech? • Change how students think by focusing on information literacy. • Use a process that guides students through solving real life, authentic problems that relate to a theme or overall concept. • Have both teachers and teacher-librarians collaborate in the planning process. • Are your teachers and librarians collaborating on information literacy?
