The document discusses a STaR chart that is used as a technology report card to track a school's implementation of technology in different categories each year. The school's STaR chart shows they are developing in most categories for 2006-2007 through 2008-2009, though educator preparation and development was advanced in 2007-2008 and 2008-2009. It recommends more technology training for teachers and incorporating technology lessons into core subjects to improve developing areas and take technology integration more seriously to better prepare students for the future.
