Let’s Take a Closer Look at the Teacher STaR Chart itself…

(please review your paper copy)


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


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 TechDeveloping TechAdvanced TechTarget Tech


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)


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.


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.


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


• work collaboratively on complex authentic tasks

• communicate globally with peers and experts

• meet the Technology Applications TEKS


• Meets 100% of SBEC Tech Apps Standards

• Is at the “Invention” stage of technology use

• Seamlessly and appropriately integrates technology consistently for student learning


• just-in-time technical and instructional support

• six multimedia internet computers

in every classroom

• ‘on-demand’, anywhere, anytime access

for every student

• a variety of distance learning opportunities


• Across the bottom of the page, notice there is correlation to the Campus STaR Chart

• Teacher STaR chart designed to assist with accurate data collection for the completion of the Campus STaR Chart

Please note:
