BECOMING A STAR DETECTIVE!
NEW DETECTIVE PROFILE
Please draw a picture or add some
photographs of you and your family.

Mission: To develop skilled
thinking and reasoning
What do you want to be
when you grow up?
What are some things
you really like?

BECOMING A STAR DETECTIVE!
Whatever you do and wherever you go in
life, there are rules or agreements about
behavior. This group is no different and
we must stick to the rules. Here are some
suggestions and you may wish to add
some of your own.
GROUP RULES
1. Workbook
You must bring these binders with you to each session.
2. The STOP Sign
When the STOP Sign is held up you must stop doing whatever
you are doing at the time and quietly return to your seats.
3. Mid-session break
We will have a mid-session break every week. When I hold up
the STOP Sign, you must quickly return to the group.
4. “Things to do”
We want you to practice the skills you have learned in the group.
It is pointless to learn skills that you do not apply in everyday
life. This means doing your “Things to do” assignments.
5. Mobile phones
Mobile phones must be turned off.
6. Try not to leave the room during the session
Make sure you go to the bathroom before the session starts.
7. Gossiping
We don’t talk about people behind their backs in these
sessions. You can talk about problems you have with people
but don’t name them.
