The S.T.A.R. strategy (Stop, Think, Act, Reflect), is a developmentally appropriate problem-solving strategy that:
1) helps students learn and practice critical social-emotional and conflict resolution skills
2) helps teachers and students resolve real problems
3) holds students accountable for their behavior
Participants in this international webinar hosted by the Inter-American Teacher Education Network learned how to teach S.T.A.R. to students, ages 5-14, and how to implement S.T.A.R. in the classroom and school-wide.
The presenter is Christa M. Tinari, MA, a Safe Schools Specialist and a champion of whole-child education. A former Student Assistance Counselor, she has been training children and adults in the skills of peacemaking, for over 15 years. Ms. Tinari is founder of PeacePraxis Educational Services.
