The cost for implementing STARI is variable, depending on how you acquire the materials for teachers and students.

STARI Curriculum Materials (Workbooks, Lesson Plans, etc)

STARI curriculum materials can be downloaded FREE of charge and distributed for non-commercial use. If you or your school district prefer, you may also order pre-printed materials from SERP’s print-on-demand partner. Assuming 14 students per class and three units each year, ordering pre-printed materials costs approximately  $800/class/year. This is a yearly cost, but you may be able to reuse some materials each year (Lesson Plans, extra copies of workbooks, etc). 

STARI Literature (novels, nonfiction texts, etc)

Some schools may have access to these books already or they can be purchased from many local and online book sellers. For convenience, SERP has partnered with a book distributor who offers below-market prices to enable ordering from one place, since some books may go out-of-stock quickly. The cost for books is variable based on series and volume discounts. If purchasing a full set of new books, estimates range from $900-$1,600 per class set for each series. Books can be reused year to year and shared between classes using the same series/grade level of materials, but you should expect to purchase some books each year in order to replace lost or damaged books. 

Additional STARI supplies

STARI requires the use of timers and sticky notes on a regular basis. STARI also calls for standard classroom supplies on rare occasions, such as tape and scissors. 

Professional Development

SERP offers online professional development opportunities. Licenses cost $375/person  (discounted rates available for groups).
