The document summarizes the Texas Star Chart assessment of technology readiness for Scarborough High School over three years from 2006-2009. The Star Chart evaluates schools across four key areas: Teaching and Learning, Educator Preparation, Leadership & Support, and Infrastructure. It shows that Scarborough High School demonstrated advancing levels in Infrastructure but developing levels in Educator Preparation, indicating limited technology-focused professional development for teachers. The recommendation is to focus on improving Educator Preparation through increased teacher training, mentoring, and collaboration to better integrate technology with learning and teaching.
