Responsive+Classroom

=Responsive Classroom=

Slackwood School has worked with the Northeast Foundation for Children for many years, incorporating Reponsive Classroom into our daily school practices. Morning Meeting is built into our daily schedule, and teachers conduct meetings in their classrooms. Students are welcomed into class each day by name to help them to feel welcomed and wanted. Students practice social skills by greeting one another each day, sometimes in other languages to reflect the cultural diversity of our school. Students participate in activities that develop their understanding of language and math, and utilize such skills as listening, communicating clearly, respecting others, asking questions, and focusing. Guided Instruction helps students to learn safely how to incorporate materials into daily use in the classroom or on the playground. Responsive Classroom provides a plethora of tools to help teachers engage students in learning throughout the day.
