This document discusses using the STaR Chart to evaluate Ennis Junior High's technology readiness and develop a plan for improvement. The STaR Chart measures four areas of technology across Texas schools. Faculty rank the school in these areas to generate a rating. The document notes target areas of weakness, like student mastery of technology applications and staff access to professional development. It proposes breaking into departments to identify weaknesses, compile a master plan, and set campus goals for the upcoming school year to improve the school's STaR Chart scores.
