Responsive Advisory Meeting

Articles

“Responsive Advisory Meeting, which is a key Responsive Classroom middle school practice, has a set, predictable structure. Each meeting is organized around one of seven distinct purposes that underlies the meeting’s topic and activities. Responsive Advisory Meeting thus offers a solid framework for building meaningful connections and developing respectful and trusting relationships, while meeting students’ developmental needs to belong, feel significant, and have fun.”
