This document discusses the Texas STaR Chart, which is an assessment tool used to evaluate schools' progress in four key technology areas: teaching and learning, educator preparation, leadership/support, and infrastructure. It provides details on each area and shows the campus results from WFHS from 2003-2010. The chart is designed to help schools meet state technology goals and identify staff training needs. It provides classifications for each area to show a campus' level of development and recommendations for using the results to improve technology integration and instruction.
