What is the Texas STaR Chart?
The School Technology and Readiness (STaR) chart is a teacher tool for planning and self-assessing that correlates with the Long-Range Plan for Technology.
The chart can be used for technology planning, budgeting for resources, and evaluation of progress in local technology projects and fulfills the legal requirement of reporting progress toward technology excellence.

The Texas Teacher STaR Chart Helps Teachers Answer Critical Questions:
What is my current educational technology profile?
What is my knowledge of online learning, technology resources, instructional support, and planning?
In what areas can I improve my level of technology integration?
What are the technology standards required of beginning teachers and recommended for current Texas teachers?
What evidence can be provided to demonstrate my progress in meeting the goals of the Long Range Plan for Technology and NCLB?
