The document discusses the results of the Texas STaR Chart assessment of Jackson Technology Center (JTC) over three years. The STaR Chart measures four key areas of technology integration based on Texas's Long Range Plan for Technology. Over 2006-2007, 2007-2008, and 2008-2009, JTC showed progress in most areas, especially infrastructure for technology and leadership/administration. However, educator preparation and development remained the weakest area. Overall, the STaR Chart helps schools evaluate their progress toward integrating technology as outlined by the state.

4. What can we gain from the results? The results from the Texas STaR chart can help campuses, as well as districts determine if they are working towards the Long Range Plan for Technology. It gives a guideline for schools to see what they need to work on in order to be working towards the common goal.

8. Conclusion For the first key area, which is Teaching and Learning it seems that JTC and the State are an upward climb. Students are getting more involved in technology during class time.

9. Conclusion Educator Preparation and Development are still developing. This is our weakest link at JTC. Garland is definitely trying to implement technology at every level within the district and campuses.

10. Conclusion Starting in 2008 JTC as well as the State showed growth in the area of Leadership, Admin, and Instructional Support.

11. Conclusion Infrastructure for Technology . This area has seen consistent growth over the past three years. Garland ISD continually offers new tools to keep the infrastructure moving forward.
