The document discusses the Texas STaR Chart, which is a tool used to evaluate and plan technology use at schools. It outlines the 4 key areas assessed: Teaching and Learning, Educator Preparation, Leadership/Administration, and Infrastructure. For KHS, it finds they are in the "Developing" phase for all areas, with teacher-directed instruction, minimal TEKS technology integration, limited professional development, one IT staff per 750 computers, and a 5-9 student to computer ratio. To improve, the document recommends understanding technology standards, increasing teacher-facilitated technology instruction, and offering more professional development opportunities.
