What is Responsive Classroom?
The Responsive Classroom is an approach to teaching based on the belief
that social learning is as important as academic learning. A clear
social curriculum helps students meet both high social and high
academic goals. A positive climate in the school helps children feel a
part of the community and responsible for their own behavior and
learning.
Many of Linwood's traditions such as our Gatherings, morning meetings, and cross grade buddies fit into the Responsive Classroom approach.
Most
teachers at Linwood A+ have been trained and have been gradually
implementing the program through Morning Meetings, Guided Discoveries
of materials, Classroom Organization, and Rules and Logical
Consequences developed from our Hopes and Dreams. These components are
not something that we do at a separate time but rather the ways we
interact as a community throughout the day.
