The Texas STaR Chart is an online resource tool that allows schools to assess their level of technology integration in teaching and learning. It provides information on a school's technology profile, infrastructure, and level of progress. Kingwood Park High School has used the STaR Chart to track its progress in moving from developing to advanced levels of technology implementation over multiple years. The document recommends schools use the STaR Chart to measure proficiency, update technology plans, determine funding needs, and set benchmarks to support technology goals under No Child Left Behind.
