About Responsive Classroom

For over 40 years, Responsive Classroom has empowered educators with the skills to ensure a high-quality education for every student every day.

The Four Domains of Responsive Classroom

A calm and orderly learning environment that promotes autonomy, responsibility, and high engagement in learning.

Basing all decisions for teaching and discipline upon research and knowledge of students’ social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development.

Our Approach to Teaching and Discipline

The Responsive Classroom approach is grounded in a carefully crafted set of principles and practices aimed at cultivating safe, joyful, and engaging learning environments. We are committed to fostering the holistic development of students — academically, socially, and emotionally — within a context that is responsive to their unique strengths and needs.
