Responsive Classroom

The Responsive Classroom (RC) is an approach to teaching and learning that fosters safe, challenging, and joyful classrooms and school.  Developed by classroom teachers, it consists of practical strategies for bringing together social and academic learning throughout the school day.

Components of Responsive Classroom

Morning Meeting: Each morning we will come together as a class to greet, share, and get to know one another and build our classroom community.  The group meets and participates in the following:

Greeting: We greet one another by looking at each other, using each other's names, and using kind voices to say hello in a variety of ways.

Connecting: We engage with the day and natural world around us through observation.

Sharing: We take turns throughout the week sharing on our choice of topics.  We practice listening and questioning skills with one another daily.

Activity:  We engage in movement and get ready for the day ahead of us.
