3. What is the Texas STaR Chart?
• The STaR Chart survey will help your district
assess their technology needs and plan for staff
development.
• The STaR Chart is part of the Texas Long
Range Technology Plan that mandates that all
teachers become technology proficient.
• Data is evaluated and compared to local, state
and national standards.

Development’ has the lowest rating of all of the
key areas.
• ‘Educator Preparation and Development’ has
consistently received the lowest rating by those

7. What does the future hold?
• We need to keep on doing what is working for our
campus. We are doing many things right!
• In order to improve the area of ‘Educator Preparation
and Development’, I would make the following
recommendations:
• Classes should be offered throughout the year, at various
times during the day (to include teacher conference periods)
• On professional development days offer technology training
sessions that are supportive of the campus improvement
plan
• Gain input from teachers about the types of training needed
to make them more successful in reaching all students
• Administrative support should be in place
