Madeline Horrigan –
This book was the best resource for me during the last 20 years of my elementary school teaching career. My original copy is high-lighted, dog-eared, written on and post-it laden. I read it over and over at the start of each school year. As the Responsive Classroom point person on the staff at The Duke School, I had it nearly memorized. I love the quote from Ruth Sidney Charney about teaching discipline with no apologies…every year. I came to call this book my Responsive Classroom Bible. It is definitely a five star read.
