What STELAR Measures
Coaching feedback in STELAR is grounded in four instructional domains linked to positive language and literacy outcomes:
Why Teacher Talk Matters
Classroom talk shapes how multilingual children build knowledge, develop concepts, and gain the language and learning skills needed for academic success.
Through everyday teacher–child conversations, children build English while continuing to develop their home language. The way teachers prompt thinking, ask questions, introduce new words, sustain back-and-forth exchanges, and connect home languages to new learning shapes what children learn — and what they carry into kindergarten and beyond.
WHY IT MATTERS
Most early educators lack regular, in-classroom support to see what's actually happening in their daily interactions with children. Feedback typically arrives late or outside the classroom, making it difficult to connect guidance to real teaching moments — especially in multilingual settings.
STELAR Coach supports teachers directly within their own classrooms. By focusing on how teachers guide conversation, the app helps educators recognize patterns in their interactions and see how small shifts can shape children's learning. Over time, teachers build clear competencies, take ownership of their practice, and feel genuinely supported in their day-to-day work.
