The document introduces the Texas STaR Chart, a teacher tool aligned with Texas' Long-Range Plan for Technology from 2006-2020. The STaR Chart is designed to help teachers self-assess and plan improvements across four key areas: Teaching and Learning, Preparation and Development, Leadership/Administration/Support, and Infrastructure for Technology. It also allows schools and districts to gauge progress towards meeting technology goals. Sample data is provided showing percentages of progress across the different areas for one district.
