The document discusses the Teacher STaR Chart, which allows teachers to self-assess their progress in meeting technology expectations. It provides the results from 2006-2009 for McKinney Boyd Star High School. While the school showed advanced progress in the areas of teaching and learning and educator preparation, it saw declines in leadership/administration/instructional support and infrastructure for technology. The summary recommends generating an online report to help reverse these declining trends in two key areas.
