2. What is the StaR Chart STaR chart is derived from: School Technology and Readiness. It is a Teacher Tool for Planning and Self-Assessing that is aligned with the state’s Long-Range Plan for Technology

3. Teaching and Learning Elkins HS only improved one point in the last three years of the survey in the Teaching and Learning category

5. Educator Preparation and Development EHS has made gains in this area A gain of 2 points was made from the 2007-08 to the 2008-09 school year We must continue to take technology professional development opportunities seriously.

6. Leadership, Administration, and Instructional Support EHS has made consistent improvement in this area. We must continue to make use of our Technology Instructional Specialist

7. Infrastructure for Technology EHS has improved enough in this area to be classified as “Advanced Technology” There has been a 3 point gain in this area in the last three years

8. Conclusions The chart showed my campus’ greatest weakness as Teaching and Learning. I agree with this assessment because I know that as a campus, everyone is not trying to implement technology into their teaching.

9. The Challenge! Many technological devices are sitting there being unused. The CHALLENGE- Commit to using technology once in each unit. Then try to increase that to twice a unit Then increase your use to once a week

10. GO KNIGHTS!!! TOGETHER we can all prepare our students to enter the global society.
