Be a Hallway STAR Poster

Created by
Primary Peanuts
Through my training with Conscious Discipline By Becky Bailey - Building a Resilient Classroom, I have learned how important it is for routine, visuals and key words. I have designed a poster to use in the hallway with the Key word STAR. After the modeling, and practice students are telling each other to be a STAR. With the use of the positive word the students do not look at it as a rule but rather a way of life. More to come soon for cafeteria, bathroom, line procedure, and recess.

Teaching style

My teaching style revolves around inquiry-based learning where the lesson begins with a question then students often do hands-on activities to practice skills. The hands-on activities keep students excited and engaged from beginning to end. This might be a buddy reading, a worksheet, experiment, exploration of materials, research, or follow procedures. Teaching requires critical planning, flexibility, and strong classroom management. I feel inquiry-based learning allows students to guide learning to fit their interests and builds strong, social, open-minded future citizens.

Conscious Discipline is my way of life and I teach my children to self regulate. I am ready to share my experiences, talents and organizational skills with fellow teachers.
