Teachers who use the Responsive Classroom approach understand
that all of children’s needs—academic, social, emotional, and physical—are important.
The teacher creates an environment that responds to all of those needs so that your child can do his or her best learning.

The US Department of Education was created in 1980 by combining offices from several federal agencies. Its mission is to promote student achievement and preparation for global competitiveness by fostering educational excellence and ensuring equal access.
