This document provides an overview of the Texas STaR Chart, a tool for schools to assess their progress in implementing technology. The STaR Chart evaluates schools across four key areas: teaching and learning, educator preparation and development, leadership and administration, and infrastructure. It is designed to help schools with technology planning, budgeting, and evaluating their progress on technology integration goals in alignment with state and federal guidelines, including the No Child Left Behind Act. The document outlines the four areas of assessment and explains that the STaR Chart can be used to track a school's yearly progress, findings from technology labs, and student engagement with technology standards. It concludes by posing questions and providing additional resources.
