Some of you may have noticed the poster board under the coat rack titled "Student Star Achievement" and wondered just what is it all about?
Student Star Achievement is a program designed for children 14 years and younger. After every class they are told if they get a star to put next to their name or not. This privilege is determined by their behavior and performance in class.
The requirements for achieving a colored star for the class are:
- Green Star: Performs highest form correctly.
- Blue Star: Performs belt level kicking/punching & blocking techniques correctly.
- Red Star: Performs their highest belt self-defense, TKD techniques and required breakaways correctly.
- Silver Star: Displays an excellent attitude and shows respect to the Instructor and fellow students during class.
- Yellow Star: Knows study material-- My Pledge, Tenets, Meaning of TKD, True Student, Children's Home Rules, etc. Completes children's "To Do" list in a timely manner.
After a student has achieved a certain number of stars of a particular color, the student will be awarded a matching colored belt tip.
- Green Tip: Performs Highest Form Correctly.
