The STaR Chart is a tool used by Texas schools to assess and plan their technology use. It evaluates technology integration in four areas: teaching and learning, educator preparation, administration and support, and infrastructure. The chart shows that in 2007-2008, most Texas schools were at the "developing" level of technology use, while Cockrill Middle School's data placed it between the "developing" and "advanced" levels. The document discusses using STaR Chart data to identify strengths, weaknesses, and ideas for improving technology at Cockrill Middle School to ensure technology literacy by 8th grade.
