The document discusses the Texas School Technology and Readiness (STaR) Chart, which is used to assess a school's level of technology integration and readiness across several key areas. The STaR Chart helps schools determine professional development needs, assign funding, and report data for grants and statewide summaries. It also allows schools to evaluate their technology status in comparison to state trends and recommendations. The presentation provides an overview of the STaR Chart and its impacts on students, teachers, campuses, and the state education system in Texas.
