COMMITTED AND COMPREHENSIVE
Using the STAR Classroom Observation Protocol®, BERC researchers can efficiently assess student
learning in the areas of Skills/knowledge, Thinking, Application and
Relationships. STAR Observations provide a comprehensive review of the presence of Powerful
Teaching and Learning throughout a school or district.
This data is compiled into a comprehensive report and is available for review by administration and
teachers. These reports can be presented to groups for a better understanding of the review, STAR
indicators, and information about Powerful Teaching and Learning concepts. The data from this review
can be used to inform professional development activities and to monitor improvement over time.
Combined with an evaluation, classroom observation provides an overall picture of the school or
district.
