The document summarizes West High School's STaR (School Technology and Readiness) Chart from 2010-2011. The STaR Chart measures four components - Teaching and Learning, Educator Preparation, Leadership Support, and Infrastructure - and rates them from 1 to 4. It shows that in 2011, West HS was at the Developing Tech level for Teaching/Learning and Educator Preparation, and at the Advanced Tech level for Leadership Support and Infrastructure. The conclusion states that while progress has been made since 2008, all areas need to reach the Advanced Tech level to fully achieve technology integration goals.
