Run your whole lesson from one screen. Star Class HQ is a free, all-in-one classroom management hub that opens in your web browser. There are no accounts, no logins, and student names never leave your computer.
Meet Nova, your classroom co-pilot: a gold star mascot who greets you, celebrates when the class unlocks a reward and keeps an eye on things when it's time to focus.
A WHOLE-CLASS BEHAVIOUR SCALE
- One tap to add a tick or a strike. They cancel each other out, so the class can always turn it around.
- Reach +3 and the Rewards Room unlocks.
- Hit -3 and a consequence notice is written for you, ready to copy into your school system or email.
- Undo button for accidental taps, shout-outs for individual students, and a weekly summary you can copy and paste.
6 WAYS TO PICK A NAME
Quick pick, spinning wheel, name dice, gone fishing, claw machine and balloon darts. Mark absent students with one tap, and nobody gets picked twice until everyone has had a turn.
GROUPS AND SEATING PLANS
Make random groups or a seating plan in seconds. Private rules (hidden from students) keep certain students apart or seat them at the front or back.
CHALLENGES AND LESSON TOOLS
- Time challenges and noise challenges using your laptop microphone. It only measures volume and nothing is recorded.
- Lesson steps: plan your lesson in timed chunks with a gentle chime between each.
- Add your timetable and the class that's on now appears on the home screen.
A CALM DISPLAY FOR YOUR TV OR PROJECTOR
- 16 hand-painted animated scenes (rainy window, cherry blossoms, northern lights, campfire and more) that slowly get stormy when the room gets loud.
- Built-in chill music, or add your own and paste YouTube links.
- Clock, timers, work-mode signs, countdowns and a lesson ring that shrinks as the lesson goes.
- Show instructions, a pasted screenshot or a live browser tab, resized and cropped to fit.
