The document summarizes the Texas STaR Chart, which assesses educators and campuses/districts on their technology use according to the Texas Long Range Plan for Technology from 2008-2011. The STaR Chart evaluates four key areas of teaching and learning, educator preparation, leadership and infrastructure according to several categories and classifies progress as early, developing, advanced or target technology levels. It also provides statewide results from 2008-2009 and references for further information.
