STAR Tech
"Supporting
Teachers to Achieve
Results by Integrating Technology
into the Curriculum"
 STAR
Tech is an exciting research-based professional development program
that helps teachers integrate a full range of technology tools into
the curriculum. The Star Tech program is designed to help teachers improve
the performance of students with diverse abilities and needs by using
a variety of low-, mid-, and high-technology tools. Read more about
the goal of STAR Tech.
The centerpiece of the professional development program is the STAR
Cycle, a process of engaging teachers in looking at student work. In
this continuous cycle, teachers examine the work of a diverse group
of students, apply new ideas and strategies in the classroom, and reflect
on the results. This process creates a supportive learning community
of teachers engaged in exploring questions related to understanding
students' abilities and needs, clarifying curriculum goals, and using
scientifically-based strategies. Read more about the professional
development components.
The STAR Tech Professional Development Program has been developed and
tested by Education Development Center, Inc., and is based on five years
of research funded by the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special
Education Programs.
This website offers information about STAR Tech—its goals, components,
and strategies. It was designed for:
- District-level
and school-based leaders looking for a comprehensive professional
development program
- Facilitators
seeking proven tools and resources to support collaboration within
a learning community
- Teachers
who want to integrate technology into the curriculum to improve learning
outcomes
The
