Facilitators
All our facilitators are experienced practitioners who know classroom life. All have gone through an extensive and rigorous multi-year certification process. This process ensures that they are well practiced in using the Responsive Classroom approach and skillful in teaching it to others. Some facilitators work full-time for Origins, doing professional development work year-round; others are classroom teachers who use the Responsive Classroom approach in their own classrooms. All share with you a love of learning, laughter, and children.
