The Texas Teacher STaR Chart Will Help Teachers Answer Critical Questions: <br />What is my current educational technology profile in the areas of Teaching and Learning and Educator Preparation and Development? <br />What is my knowledge of online learning, technology resources, instructional support, and planning on my campus? <br />What evidence can be provided to demonstrate my progress in meeting the goals of the Long Range Plan for Technology and No Child Left Behind, Title II, Part D? <br />In what areas can I improve my level of technology integration to ensure the best possible teaching and learning for my students? <br />What are the technology standards required of all beginning teachers and recommended for all current Texas teachers? <br />

14.
Summary<br />Texas teachers must complete the survey online and use the profile annually to gauge their progress in integrating technology into teaching and learning. <br />Campus and district summary data can be reported to school boards, community groups, and technology planning committees as it is aligned with state and local goals. <br />Statewide summary data is reported to state and federal policymakers. <br />

Together we can make a difference!<br />
