The document discusses the Texas STaR Chart, which is used to evaluate technology use in Texas schools. It measures four key areas: teaching and learning, educator preparation and development, leadership and administration, and infrastructure. The passage focuses on the educator preparation and development area, which examines teacher and student technology proficiency. Schools are rated based on a survey completed annually, with the goal being an advanced rating of 15 points. The school discussed has scored 12 points for three years in a row in this area and needs to improve teacher technology use to reach an advanced level.
