Seven Principles of Responsive Classroom:
There are seven guiding principles to Responsive Classroom that strive what we do and how we design student learning experiences. These are:
- The social and emotional curriculum is as important as the academic curriculum.
- How children learn is as important as what they learn.
- Great cognitive growth occurs through social interaction.
- To be successful academically and socially, children need to learn a set of social and emotional skills that include cooperation, assertiveness, responsibility, empathy, and self-control.
- Knowing the children we teach—individually, culturally, and developmentally—is as important as knowing the content we teach.
- Knowing the families of the children we teach is as important as knowing the children we teach.
- How we, the adults at school, work together is as important as our individual competence: Lasting change begins with the adult community.

classroom expectations
Our 5CM Classroom Expectations are rooted in the Responsive Classroom approach. We believe these three guidelines cover the majority of expectations within our classroom setting.
1. Take care of yourself and your learning
2. Take care of others and their learning
3. Take care of our environment
Logical consequences
Logical consequences
If students are unable to follow certain expectations, a logical consequence is applied depending on the situation. These include:
- Loss of Privilege
- Example: A student is not following the Acceptable Use Guidelines on the classroom computers. A logical consequence is not using a computer and finishing the assignment in another way.
- Take a Break from the Activity
- Example: A student is not playing fairly in a game during PE. That student will need to take a break.
- You break it, you fix it
- Example: A student is running in the classroom and knocks over another students books and materials. That student will need to help clean up before moving onto anything else.
