Research on Responsive Classroom
Improved Student Achievement:
Teachers' use of Responsive Classroom practices predicts gains in student math and
reading achievement. In addition, researchers found the following:
- Academic Choice: Teachers' use of Responsive Classroom Academic Choice, specifically, was associated with reading and math achievement outcomes.
- Socio-economics: The associations between Responsive Classroom practices and achievement were equally strong for children eligible for free/reduced price lunch and those not eligible.
- Greater effect on low-achieving students: The association between teachers' use of Responsive Classroom practices and math achievement appears to be stronger for students who are initially low achieving than for others.
