The document discusses the STaR Chart, a tool used in Texas schools to assess progress towards technology goals. It outlines the four areas of focus: Teaching and Learning, Educator Preparation and Development, Leadership/Administration/Instructional Support, and Infrastructure for Technology. Sample results are given for Lee High School over three years, showing progress in most areas and steady or advanced status in Infrastructure for Technology. The STaR Chart is meant to help schools evaluate needs, set priorities, and qualify for funding to support technology integration.
