Role of Responsive Classroom (RC)and Developmental Design (DD)in teaching social skills and helping the child find his/her place in an academic and social environment.
Learn, share, model, and apply key concepts/values such as Respect, Integrity, Honnesty, etc...

I think we need to include that social skills are taught equally with academics.

Maybe we could merge Magali's phrases with this structure?: Harrisburg Academy aims to prepare the whole child academically and socially for the challenges of college, a career, and a responsible adulthood...so RC and DD structure the school day in the Lower School and Middle School to foster social skills/ social development

Building on Elaine's comment...should this category should be included in the section on curriculum mapping? I think we should include it there, it is part of what we are teaching.
