STaR Chart Update - 11/5/2012

ECISD Campuses are working hard to complete the TEA-mandated School Technology and Readiness (STaR) Chart. The STaR Chart is self-reported survey that involves every teacher, campus administrator and librarian submitting information centered around 4 domains. The Classroom STaR Chart data is used to develop a Campus STaR Chart submitted by the Principal, and the aggregate data composes the District STaR Chart.

The goal is a portrait of the District as seen from 4 perspectives including the following:

1. Teaching and Learning
2. Educator Preparation
3. Administration and Leadership
4. Infrastructure

To prepare campuses for the launch, the EC Technology Operations area prepared a STaR Chart Support Web Site featuring tutorials.

One of the most often read tutorials is the one for teachers new to a campus (whether new or transfers to a campus). The second tutorial most read is that of administrators who need to inactivate teachers/staff listed on their roster who may have left the campus or were added accidentally (e.g. paraprofessionals, counselors, nurses) who do not need to complete the STaR Chart.

Below is the complete list of tutorials available to campus admins and teachers:

Step 1 - Administrators - Prepare the Campus List of Teachers

1. Checklist for Administrators 
2. STaR Chart Basics for Administrators 
3. New Teachers or Teachers with Changed Names 
4. I don't know my password 
5. Verifying and Editing the Teacher List 

Step 2 - Teachers/Librarians - Complete Classroom version of the STaR Chart

1. STaR Chart Basics for Teachers 
2. New Teachers to ECISD or your Campus 
3. I don't know my Username 
4. I don't know my Password

Based on a report available through the STaR Chart web site, the following chart shows completion status as of 11/5/2012; 10:25am. Note that accurate completion status is dependent on whether teachers no longer on campus have been inactivated or not.
