"Four Key Areas"
  • Four Key Areas


  • Teaching
    and Learning
  • Educator Preparation and Development
  • Administration and Support
  • Infrastructure for Technology
19
"Each Key Area is divided..."
    • Each Key Area is divided into Focus Areas:


    • Within each Focus Area (A-L), indicators are provided for assessing the teacher’s
      Level of Progress
          • Early Tech
          • Developing Tech
          • Advanced Tech
          • Target Tech
20
Levels of Progress
        • It is possible to have indicators in more than one Level of Progress


        • Select the one Level of Progress that best describes yourself (the teacher)

21
Sample Performance Descriptors
  • To determine which Level of Progress you should select, look at page 4 and 5.  The Descriptor for Focus Area A is found under each level of progress.  Determine which ‘A’ fits you best: Early Tech, Developing Tech, Advanced Tech, or Target Tech.


  • This is the level you will select for Focus Area A on the Electronic Version.
22
"Primarily the Chart focuses in..."
  • Primarily the Chart focuses in the areas of


  • Teaching and Learning
  • Educator Preparation and Development


  •     The goal for all Texas teachers
  •     is to reach the Target Tech level
  •      of the STaR Chart.


23
"In addition,"
  • In addition, the STaR Chart includes  Administration and Support Services and Infrastructure for Technology.


    • In these two areas, the STaR Chart focuses   on the teacher’s perception of the learning environment


    • Again, the Target Tech level is the goal
