The Responsive Classroom approach to teaching emphasizes academic, social, and emotional growth in a strong school community. The four key domains of responsive classroom. include: creating learning tasks that are active, interactive, appropriately challenging, purposeful, and connected to students' interests; nurturing a sense of belonging, significance, and emotional safety so that students feel comfortable taking risks and working with a variety of peers; creating a calm, orderly environment that promotes autonomy and allows students to focus on learning; using knowledge of child development, along with observations of students, to create a developmentally appropriate learning environment.
