2. Today’s Agenda:
How do Texas educators contribute to
the Long-Range Plan for Technology?
What is STaR Chart data?
Where does our campus rank?
How can we reach our TARGET as a
campus?
3. Long-Range for Technology
2006-2020
The Texas Education Code, Section 32.001, requires
the State Board of Education to develop a long-range
plan for technology. Texas led the nation with the first
Long-Range for Technology, 1988-2000 adopted by
the Board In November 1988.
4. Our Contribution
The goal in teaching and learning must be to
empower young citizens to live and learn in a
continuously changing 21st Century
environment and to enable this citizenry to
effectively interact in a global marketplace.

6. Star CHART Data
All campuses are required to submit STaR
CHART Data to measure yearly progress.
KEY AREAS to be scored: The stages of progress are:
I. Teaching and Learning Early Tech, Developing Tech,
Advanced Tech, and Target Tech
II. Educator Preparation Texas’ highest score according to
III. Administration and 2009-2010 data was in the Key Area
1: Educator Preparation, scoring a
Support 68.7% (Developing Tech)
IV. Infrastructure No Key Area has met the Target
Tech ranking
The majority of Texas schools are
still in the developing stage or have
reached a plateau at the advanced
level.
