Technology Staffing Recommendations
LONGVIEW INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT
2013 - 2014
The Texas STaR Chart is a tool for planning and assessing School Technology and Readiness and is aligned to the Texas Long-Range Plan for Technology 2006 - 2020. Its purpose is to promote a minimum level of technology access and use in the state’s local education agencies and teacher preparation institutions. The chart lists criteria for identifying four levels of progress in twenty-two categories. Two categories included in the chart are Technical Support and Instructional Support. The accomplishment of the Longview ISD Technology Plan 2013 – 2016, the successful implementation of technology integration, and the use of technology district-wide rely on the support of educational and technical support staff. These individuals must serve in critical roles with diverse responsibilities. Educators who possess classroom experience are charged with assisting teachers within the context of the school day and leading professional development. Technicians are charged with the responsibility of setting up, maintaining and repairing equipment. It is the human infrastructure that will ensure how well the technology serves the students and staff of Longview ISD. The Technology Department recommends staffing positions as described below to ensure the successful implementation of technology in Longview ISD.
