Responsive Classroom

Campbell utilizes the Responsive Classroom approach school wide.  The underlying philosophy is that students who feel a sense of belonging and respect exhibit better behaviors.  Some specific strategies that Campbell teachers use are:

• Morning meeting everyday in all grades (PreK-5)
• Students in a classroom create “Rules and Responsibilities”
• Take a break location in classrooms (Peace chair)
• Academic choice
• Children identify their “Hopes and Dreams” in the fall
• Natural consequences
• If you break it, you fix it (Feelings or tangible items)

The teaching staff is trained on an ongoing process.  To learn more, please visit the Responsible classroom website:  http://www.responsiveclassroom.org/
