Developed with reference to publicly available Texas Rising Star Classroom Assessment Record Forms, these supplemental activities are designed to support selected teacher–child interaction practices, particularly those addressed in Category 2.
Suggested questions, conversational exchanges, and descriptive language give educators practical prompts to review and adapt.
