The document discusses the STaR Chart, a survey given annually to teachers to measure technology integration in schools. It measures progress in four areas: Teaching and Learning, Educator Preparation and Development, Leadership/Administration/Instructional Support, and Infrastructure for Technology. Trends from past years show Infrastructure for Technology increasing while other areas decreased. Goals are to increase all areas to the highest level and support professional development to better integrate technology into teaching.
