The document summarizes the results of the Texas STaR Chart survey given to teachers at PSJA High School from 2006 to 2009. The STaR Chart measures schools' technology proficiency in four areas: teaching and learning, educator preparation and development, leadership and administration, and infrastructure. While most areas showed progress from early or developing to developing technology levels, infrastructure for technology achieved advanced technology levels by 2008-09. The greatest strength was infrastructure for technology access, while the greatest weakness was in educator preparation and development due to some teachers' lack of technology experience and training.

The greatest weakness is in the area of Educator preparation and development because some of our teachers are technology immigrants and may not be technology knowledgeable, they need more professional development sessions in technology preparation.
