The document discusses the Texas STaR Chart, which is a teacher self-assessment tool aligned with the state's long-range technology plan. It has four sections that evaluate Teaching and Learning, Educator Preparation, Leadership Support, and Infrastructure. The presentation provides an overview of each section and shows results from Highlands Junior School from 2006-2009, with the school making progress but still having work to do in all areas. The STaR Chart is concluded to be a useful tool for technology evaluation and goal-setting at the campus level.
