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

Move from traditional teacher-led learning model to a student-centered collaborative model in order to empower our young citizens to succeed in a global and digital world of information.

The Texas Challenge – Prep. & Dev. Of Educators

Secure time Secure resources Secure effective models for educator

professional development that is beyond teaching in the face-to-face classroom.

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

technologies. Articulate clear expectations for 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 Maintain appropriate funding levels. Secure and maintain qualified staff. Provide 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.

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