Title: Good for young kids
Review: The concept of the responsive classroom is a solid, inspiring concept. My only issue is that if you are teaching older kids, 5th and 6th grade, you don't get the support from the literature that is given to the kindergarten through 4th grade teachers. The examples are almost all early grade kids and while you can still extrapolate some information from those examples as kids grow their needs change and the process of trying to read and "translate" into value the information for older kids gets a bit frustrating. The book and concepts are solid and inspirational. My only issue is that they need to address the older children and have examples to support those teachers. The kids we support would really benefit.
