Responsive Classroom strategies, such as student sharing, create opportunities for students to express themselves and learn about their peers, fostering positive cultural connections and deeper understanding.

Research tells us that when students are taught social-emotional skills their academic performance noticeably improves. That’s why the first principle of the Responsive Classroom approach is “Teaching social and emotional skills is just as important as teaching academic content."

Happy #SELday from @ResponsiveClass and @FlyFiveSEL! 🎉 Social-emotional learning and academics go hand in hand to help students thrive—today and every day.

Happy International Women's Day!
