One-Day Workshops
Our introductory overview is an opportunity to explore foundational ideas, see practices in action, investigate Responsive Classroom approaches to discipline, and experience a Morning Meeting. This workshop is offered in two formats:
The Responsive Classroom Sampler is designed for elementary school classroom teachers and other school staff.
The Overview for Administrators is customized for school and district leaders.
Child Development Matters is designed for K–8 classroom teachers.
Bullyproof Your Classroom is designed for elementary school classroom teachers.
Week-Long Institute
For many teachers, taking the Responsive Classroom Level I course (RCI) is an ideal way to start. RCI provides an intensive, hands-on introduction to five of the practices at the heart of the Responsive Classroom approach. This four-and-a-half day course is offered each summer in many locations and can also be presented as a series of on-site sessions for a group from a school or district.
