The STaR Chart is a tool used by Morton Ranch Junior High to assess and plan their technology readiness and use. It measures four key areas: Teaching & Learning, Educator Preparation & Development, Leadership/Administration/Instructional Support, and Infrastructure. Morton Ranch's 2009-2010 STaR Chart results showed their highest scores were in Leadership/Administration/Instructional Support and their lowest were in Educator Preparation. Based on these results, their goals were to provide additional technology staff development and better integrate technology into classroom lessons.
