Morning Meeting: Responsive Classroom at Pardes

At Pardes, we are deeply committed to nurturing the whole child—academically, socially, and emotionally. All Pardes teachers are trained in the Responsive Classroom approach, a research-based teaching framework that fosters safe, inclusive, and joyful learning environments.

Key components of Responsive Classroom include:

List of 4 items.

  • Morning Meetings and Daily Greetings

  • Respectful Language and Shared Norms

  • Logical Consequences and Proactive Discipline

  • Strong Student-Teacher Relationships

This consistent, schoolwide approach cultivates social responsibility, self-management, and a strong sense of belonging. At its core, Responsive Classroom reflects our belief that every child deserves to feel seen, supported, and valued. Our layered, intentional approach to social-emotional learning mirrors our commitment to building character, community, and a deep sense of connection. Our families, teachers, counselor, and administration are deeply committed to these key components.
