Responsive Classroom School
At Brown School Students Say
Y.E.S.!
Take

care of Yourself.
Take care of Each other.
Take care of your School.

Ensuring Success For All!

We take pride in the safeguards we have in place
to monitor a range of needs
for children struggling
...for children excelling
for children with health concerns

How Do We Measure Student

Achievement?

Its always more than scores!

Its about individual progress toward standards
Its about individual progress toward personal best
Its about discovering the learning style of each
child and creating many ways for children to show
their understanding

Our 21st Century Learners

Our children are your children and the world for
which we prepare them is different as are the
tools they will need to be successful. While we
remain committed to the traditional 3 Rs, we
also recognize the value in a new core of Rs:
RIGOR
RELEVANCE
RELATIONSHIPS

Where Are We Going?

We remain committed to each child

We are continuing our focus on Essential

Learning Targets
We are implementing Proficiency Based Grading
with JumpRope
We are continuing our inquiry into successful
instructional interventions through Response to
Intervention
We are continuing to embrace our core values and
the Responsive Classroom philosophy.
