The Texas STaR chart is a tool used by Marshall Junior High to evaluate its progress in technology projects, guide resource budgeting, and facilitate discussions around technology planning. Each year, teachers and administrators complete a questionnaire to assess the school's performance in four key areas: teaching and learning, educator preparation and development, leadership and infrastructure. Based on the results, the school is rated in one of four levels of technology integration. While Marshall Junior High's ratings put it at the developing or advanced levels in most areas, the summary indicates it needs more teacher training, greater technology implementation in lessons, and should encourage teachers to try new technologies and ask students for help.
