Our Classroom is a Responsive Classroom

Responsive Classroom - Guiding Principles

*The social curriculum is as important as the academic curriculum.

*How children learn is as important as what children learn.

*The greatest cognitive growth occurs through positive, social interaction.

*There is a set of social skills that children need to learn to be successful academically and socially (Cooperation, Assertion, Responsibility, Empathy, and Self-Control)

*Knowing the children we teach is as important as knowing the content we teach.

*Knowing the families of the children we teach is as important as knowing the children.

*How we, the adults at school work together is as important as our individual competence.
