The document discusses Carver Elementary School's progress toward integrating technology into the curriculum based on the Texas STaR Chart. It finds that Carver scores at the Developing and Advanced Tech levels in the four key areas of Teaching and Learning, Educator Preparation, Leadership/Administration, and Infrastructure. The goal is to reach Target Tech status. Several actions are suggested to improve technology integration in each area, such as developing exemplary technology-based lessons, providing varied professional development, establishing technology-focused goals and leadership teams, and improving student access to technology resources. With effort, it is believed Carver can make progress toward the goal of Target Tech.
