POSSIBLE FACTORS FOR VARIANCES Restructuring of High School

High School Re-Design Process (HSRP) Bill Gates (Began 2006-2007) Block Scheduling Created Learning Communities

Increase in Technology (i.e. equipment) Maintained Technology Staff Numbers

Over TimeTechnical Support Rated Low and

Decreasing

POSSIBLE FACTORS CONT. Not Enough Time for Staff Development Technology Training Focused on Elective

Teachers Teacher Lack of Understanding of Star

ChartSubject to Individual Interpretation

RECOMMENDATIONS Provide More Training

Create Uniform Interpretation Continue Technology Walk-Throughs by

Campus Technology Coordinator (CTC) Increase Staff Development on

Technology Integration Increase Star Chart Awareness to All

Administration and Teachers
