The Texas Challenge

Educators must assure that the knowledge and skills students learn match the knowledge and skills needed to live and work in the 21st century.

The Texas LRPT recommends technology integration in 4 key areas.

The Texas Challenge – Teaching and Learning

The Texas Challenge – Leadership, Administration and Instructional Support leaders must model the effective use of

technologies articulate clear expectations for their

faculty and staff budget real cost of technology, and secure

funding to support that budget

The Texas Challenge – Infrastructure for Technology

Internet connectivity Maintenance of existing and evolving

technologies Maintaining appropriate funding levels Securing and maintaining qualified staff Providing upgrades and greater bandwidth

A Tool for Meeting the Challenge

Texas School Technology and Readiness (STaR) chart is an online resource tool for self-assessment of efforts to effectively integrate technology into schools.

Produces a profile of a school’s status towards the goals of LRPT and NCLB.
