Responsive+Classroom

We discussed the Responsive Classroom program.

Advantages:
 * a continuity of language across grade and between grade
 * wraps up best practices


 * morning meeting
 * gets children moving
 * insists on respect between children and between children and adults

Disadvantages:
 * if used by an unimaginative teacher it can become formulaic
 * is it better to have children work this out without a script?

Implementation:
 * best to have it come from the faculty
 * become a site for the 5 day RC w/shop ($14,500 for 25 people--other schools can fill in the space)
 * have the one day w/shop as a teaser
 * have interested teachers visit a school that's using it (Packer, Berkeley Carroll, Spence--others? )
