What are Technology Proficiencies?

The Technology Proficiency Program is composed of technology modules that help demonstrate basic and intermediate computer skills. These modules correlate with the State Board of Education Certification (SBEC) standards for teachers and align directly with the K-8 Technology Application TEKS. (The information from these proficiencies will help the individual teacher and campus to determine section H of the Texas Teacher STaR chart and Campus STaR chart.)

The goal of the Technology Proficiency Program is to help teachers utilize and integrate technology to support student learning and be compliant with NCLB Title II.

Who is Responsible for Completing the Technology Proficiencies?

• All certified professional district staff including the superintendent, administrators, campus principals, librarians, teachers
