What theory is Responsive Classroom based on?
The Responsive Classroom approach is not based on the work of one particular theorist. It draws on the work of many great teachers and educators, articulating a collection of sound and tested classroom practices in a way that is accessible and practical for today’s teachers. It also incorporates research and thinking from child development and constructivist educators (such as Piaget, Gesell, Montessori, Dewey, Erikson, and Vygotsky).
