July 22-23, 2008
Simmons College, Boston, Massachusetts

In summer 2008, 250 educators gathered in Boston for two days packed with practical information focused on implementing Responsive Classroom practices schoolwide and building adult community. Rural, urban, and suburban educators from fourteen states listened to two thoughtful keynote speeches from expert educators and chose from among forty breakout sessions.

A sampling of 2008 session titles:

• Current research: Does the Responsive Classroom approach work?
• Integrating learning outcomes and the Responsive Classroom approach
• Structured for success: Redesigning structures to support schoolwide Responsive Classroom implementation
• Nurturing your school’s adult community (panel discussion)
• Allocating resources to support schoolwide implementation (panel discussion)
• Support staff: Informing and supporting their work
• Rituals and practices that create and sustain a Responsive Classroom culture schoolwide

Registration for RCSC 2009 (Washington, DC, July 21-22) will begin on March 2, 2009.
