Texas Teacher STaR Chart The purpose of the Texas Teacher STaR Chart is to assist all classroom teachers in assessing their personal needs and setting professional goals for the use of technology in the classroom to support student achievement.
Texas Teacher STaR Chart • Developed Fall 2003 • Teacher input gathered Winter 2004 • Final edits in Spring 2004 • Benchmark Release Fall 2004
Please open your paper copy to the foldout section in the center.
Four Key Areas • Teaching and Learning • Educator Preparation and Development • Administration and Support • Infrastructure for Technology
Progress Indicators • Early Tech • Developing Tech • Advanced Tech • Target Tech
Levels of Progress • It is possible to have indicators in more than one Level of Progress. • For each question, select the one Level of Progress that best describes you.
Determining Level of Progress • To determine which Level of Progress you should select, look at pages 4 and 5. • Example: You are unclear on the criteria for Focus Area A. Turn to page 4 and read the descriptor listed under Early Tech. If this fits you, select Early Tech. If this does not accurately represent you, continue reading the descriptors for Focus Area A until you find one that best describes your skills. • Mark your selection on page 9 under Focus Area A. Later you will transfer this information to the online chart.
Assigning Numeric Values Each Performance Descriptor has been assigned a corresponding numeric value. The values are as follows: Early Tech = 1 Developing Tech = 2 Advanced Tech = 3 Target Tech = 4 Record the numeric value of your level on page 9 under the corresponding Focus Area.
