The document discusses the Texas STaR Chart, which measures technology proficiency at Texas schools in four key areas: Teaching and Learning, Educator Preparation and Development, Leadership/Administration/Support, and Infrastructure. It provides target criteria for each area and state trends from 2007-2008, which showed that few schools met the targets. The conclusion states that New Braunfels High School needs to focus on improving their Educator Preparation and Development area, particularly by increasing technology-integrated professional development and prioritizing funding for learner-centered professional development.
