About this Event

Our interactive, engaging, and thoughtfully designed Responsive Classroom courses prepare educators to create optimal learning environments where students can develop the academic, social, and emotional skills needed for success both in and out of school.

The Core Courses introduce the Responsive Classroom practices that create positive, safe, engaging learning communities where educators are responsive to the developmental strengths and needs of elementary and middle school students. In this four-day course, educators learn strategies that help students develop the academic and social skills they need to thrive and be successful.

After successfully completing a Core Course, we recommend taking the appropriate Advanced Course after you have had a full school year of implementing the Responsive Classroom approach with students. Your initial implementation experiences will be extremely valuable in the second half of your training.

The Advanced Courses are designed to build on and expand the Responsive Classroom teaching strategies and practices learned in the Core Course. During this four-day course, educators refine familiar practices and strategies already being used with students. Participants will also be introduced to new methods and strategies for supporting students’ social, emotional, behavioral, and academic needs.


All classes will run from 8:00 am to 3:30 pm local time on each of the event dates. Course materials and lunch will be provided.


Please see our FAQ for more information on how we run our in-person and virtual events. For information on cancellations, see our cancellation policy. Registrations for this event close after 7/03/2022. We cannot accept any registrations after the deadline.
