The STaR Chart was developed around four key areas from Texas's Vision 2020 Plan: Teaching and Learning, Educator Preparation and Development, Leadership/Administration/Support, and Technology Infrastructure. It is designed to help teachers, campuses, and districts determine their progress toward meeting technology goals established by the state and districts. Completing the STaR Chart survey provides data that can be used to identify professional development needs and ensure technology integration is aligned with research-based instructional goals. Teachers must complete the online survey annually and results are reported to stakeholders to demonstrate progress toward state and local technology objectives.
