Purpose: The Students Using Technology To Achieve Reading – Writing (STAR-W) grant program is designed for students to achieve the Core Curriculum Content Standards in language arts literacy in grades three through five by providing classroom teachers ongoing professional development and in-class support that focuses on integrating technology into the curriculum and instruction. The program has a minimum of two (2) third-grade teachers, two (2) fourth-grade teachers, and two (2) fifth-grade teachers in the same school who learn strategies to infuse technology into the curriculum. In year one of the grant program, only the third and fourth grade teachers were given intense follow-up and in-class support. In year two and again in year three of the grant program, the third, fourth and fifth grade teachers will be given intense follow-up and in-class support. The purpose of this third year continuation NGO is for all three grade levels to implement the grant program to the fullest extent by developing the capacity of the teachers to replicate the successful components of the program to other classrooms, schools or school districts. All participating teachers will continue to be supported on and assisted with the development of language arts literacy programs where students use technology as a tool during their regular instructional time.

Eligible Agencies: Only the agencies that received awards through the competitive process under the originating NGO are eligible to apply for continuation funding. Those agencies are listed in Appendix A of the NGO document.
