The Texas STaR Chart is a framework that measures how well teachers are prepared to equip students for the 21st century through the integration of technology in teaching and learning. It evaluates four key areas: Teaching and Learning, Educator Preparation and Development, Leadership/Administration/Support, and Infrastructure. The presentation reviews Excel Academy's results in these areas based on its 2008-09 STaR Chart data, identifying its strengths in educator preparation and weaknesses in leadership support. It encourages ongoing technology planning and community input to guide strategic technology integration.
