Our “Bigs” provide the missing link with friendship, guidance and encouragement and often fill the gap created by the loss of a parent. It is a second chance for a child to receive additional one-on-one attention, to be recognized for their talents and courage and to be supported in growing into healthy, strong adults.* *taken from website Responsive ClassroomThe Responsive Classroom is an approach to elementary teaching that emphasizes social, emotional, and academic growth in a strong and safe school community. The goal is to enable optimal student learning. Created by classroom teachers and backed by evidence from independent research, the Responsive Classroom approach is based on the premise that children learn best when they have both academic and social-emotional skills. The approach therefore consists of classroom and schoolwide practices for deliberately helping children build academic and social-emotional competencies.* *taken from website Stafford County Department of Social ServicesStafford County Department of Social Services strives to provide quality assistance and comprehensive services to citizens in need that will strengthen the family structure while promoting self-reliance, responsibility for family and protection of children and adults from abuse, neglect and exploitation through community-based services.* *taken from website | ||||||||||||
