Area of Concern(Educator Preparation and Development )

• Key Area II

•Area had extreme growth and then extreme decline

•Sub-Area most affected included Professional Development Issues

Campus STaR Chart Overview

1. Educator Preparation and Development in Extreme Decline due to Professional Development Issues

2. All Other Areas Show Steady Improvement

3. Significant/Positive Growth Level in 3 Years

4. Campus Data Shows Progress Towards Target Area

Recommendations to ReachTarget Technology Level

1. Provide consistent and productive Professional Development to maintain interest in tech use

2. Provide timely Tech Support to minimize teacher frustration in using technology

3. Keep Technology Equipment and Software Up-to-Date

4. Provide continuous access/training to Online Learning or Planning such as Gaggle.net and Project Share

Conclusions

1. Keep STaR Chart as part of the planning process for campus progress towards Target Level

2. Effectively Address Technology TEKS/Standards to meet Long Range Technology Plan Goals

3. Foster Teachers that will develop and implement Technology Skills to help students succeed
