Justin STaR Chart Rating and State Comparison

Justin Elementary and Northwest ISD are on the right track.

Our strongest area is Infrastructure for Technology.

Our weakest areas are Teaching and Learning and Educator Preparation and Development.

We must improve to at least Advanced Tech in all areas.

What Have We Learned?

Form a campus technology cadre with at least one representative per grade level, administrators, and instructional support staff.

Technology cadre will choose specific areas to integrate technology.

Grade level representatives will model lessons for their team. Grade level members will then allow for colleagues to practice skills learned.

Technology cadre will provide ongoing support for teachers as they implement and integrate technology with students.
