This document summarizes a meeting about using technology at North Shore 9th Grade Center based on the Texas STaR Chart. It discusses the school's performance in four key areas: Teaching and Learning, Educator Preparation and Development, Leadership/Administration/Support, and Infrastructure. While Infrastructure and Support are strong, Teaching/Learning and Educator Preparation need improvement. The school aims to incorporate more real-world technology use into curricula and ensure teachers are prepared to use technology effectively. Next steps include working with departments to add technology to lessons, attending trainings, and utilizing support staff.
