STAR

What does STAR stand for?

Stop, think, act, review

Teachers, school counselors, and others working with students may use STAR to stand for "stop, think, act, review." This decision-making and problem-solving strategy encourages students to:

  1. Stop, so they don't thoughtlessly act on whatever idea first comes to mind.
  2. Think about their proposed course of action, alternatives, and the consequences of each.
  3. Act on their best plan.
  4. Review their decision afterward, to see if it was correct or could be improved.

Some businesses may also use and discuss the STAR strategy, to help their employees learn how to make better decisions.
