3. Texas Campus Star Chart
• The Texas Campus STaR chart is a tool designed for use in technology planning, budgeting for resources,
and evaluation of progress in local technology projects.
• The Teacher STaR Chart and Campus STaR Chart are both divided into four key areas of the Long-Range
Plan for Technology; Teaching and Learning; Educator Preparation and Development: Leadership,
Administration and Instructional Support; and Infrastructure for Technology.
 The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, requires that student be technology literate by the end of the eighth
grade.
 The required Texas Technology Application curriculum supports these requirement by focusing on
teaching, learning, and integration of digital technology skills across the curriculum at all grade level.
 In order to assess progress toward meeting these standards, teachers must complete the Texas Teacher
STaR Chart.
 Campuses and districts must complete the Texas Campus STaR Chart online each year and use the profiles
to gauge their progress annually in order to comply with federal and state requirements.
