The document discusses the Texas STaR Chart, which is an online assessment that teachers complete to help with technology planning, budgeting, and evaluating technology projects. It was created in response to No Child Left Behind requirements for teachers to integrate technology. The STaR Chart measures progress in 4 key areas - Teaching & Learning, Educator Preparation, Administration & Support, and Infrastructure - across 4 levels from Early Tech to Target Tech. It then provides statewide data and an example report for Ford Middle School comparing its progress to state averages.
