The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001
emphasizes student achievement and
assessment of fundamental knowledge and skills
requires that students be technology literate by
the end of the eighth grade
in order to accomplish this, teachers must
complete the STaR chart for data collection, to
establish profiles, and gauge progress.

Teachers complete the chart annually to
provide data
Campuses complete the Campus chart
annually based on teacher responses to be
used for:
