About the STAR Protocol
The STAR Protocol is a reflective observation process. To improve instructional practice, educators need to observe instruction, talk about it, and use structured reflection to build voluntary and internal commitment to change. A typical observation takes about 15 minutes followed by 15 minutes of debriefing where educators See teaching and learning in action, Talk about observations with colleagues using common language, Analyze the observations, and Reflect on their own practice. The central question is “How can I apply what I’ve seen to my own classroom?” inspiring teachers to reflect on instructional practice and plan for pedagogical change.
