Texas STaR Chart - opinion piece
- Students per computers
- Internet Access Connectivity/Speed
- Other Classroom Technology
- Technical Support
- Local Area Network / Wide Area Network
- Distance Learning Capacity
Our current Campus Key Area STaR Classification status is Advanced Tech and the Key Area total reflecting that status is 17. The campus statewide majority of 57.2% is at the status of Advanced Tech as well. The status means that "4 or less students per computer. There is a direct connectivity to Internet in 75% of classrooms and library. Web Based learning is available. All rooms are on LAN/WAN. There is one educator per computer."(statewide chart) I feel that as a campus we are at the top of this Key area and very close to being fully emerging as a Target Tech Key Area. The difference is that The Target Tech Area means that every student has on-demand access. This Level of Progress will be meet after the complete roll out of our vision 20/20 grant of every student in the 6th - 12th grade having a personal laptop during the academic school year. This our greatest strengths area but it will also be the area that we will reach our goal of level of progress status being Target Tech this year.
