For this project, you will conduct a technology audit of your school using the Texas STaR Chart.
In collaboration with your principal and your school’s technology support person, rate your school on each indicator of the Texas STaR chart in all four Key Areas: Teaching & Learning; Educator Preparation & Development; Leadership, Administration, and Instructional Support; and Infrastructure for Technology:
• For each indicator in the Early Tech range, score 1 point.
• For each indicator in the Developing Tech range, score 2 points.
• For each indicator in the Advanced Tech range, score 3 points.
• For each indicator in the Target Tech range, score 4 points.
Record the results on the Texas Campus STaR Chart Summary page and use the Key Area Summary section to determine your school’s overall progress in each of the Key Areas.
Write a report to your principal describing the school’s level of tech readiness and offer several recommendations for improvement in each Key Area.
Submit your report and the Texas Campus STaR Chart Summary page in the assignment area.
