STAR Rules

Classroom learning rules set the tone for a positive learning environment. The STAR rules are most commonly used. 

Sit Tall 

Feet on the floor, back against the chair, hands in lap. 

Talk Big 

Answer in a normal voice, not a yell or a whisper. 

Answer on Signal 

When the teacher gives a signal, students answer with the group. 

Respect Others 

We are all here to learn, we all make mistakes sometimes. 

The teacher posts the STAR rules in the immediate learning area, so they are visible to students during the lesson. 

The teacher reinforces the STAR rules at the beginning of the school year with the group. Every day, the teacher reviews the STAR rules before starting the lesson and elicits a choral read-aloud with them. 

At the beginning of the school year, the teacher awards points frequently for following the STAR rules. As students learn the rules, points become more academically focused.
