At Virginia Run, we use the Responsive Classroom (RC) approach to create a safe, more effective school community. RC is a research and evidence-based approach to education that is proven to increase student achievement through improved teacher effectiveness while generating a warmer, more nurturing school climate.

RC focuses on increasing teacher competency in three key areas. Teachers create and deliver engaging academic lessons for all students. Teachers and staff foster and maintain a positive community in the classroom which resonates throughout the building. Lastly, teachers and staff utilize an effective, orderly management repertoire for the students throughout the school.
