The STaR Chart is a tool used for technology planning, budgeting, and evaluating progress of local technology projects in schools. It profiles a campus's status in reaching technology goals by assessing four key areas: Teaching and Learning, Educator Preparation and Development, Leadership/Administration/Instructional Support, and Infrastructure for Technology. Sample data from 2006-2009 is provided showing a school's progress in each area.
