Forest Edge is a
Responsive Classroom school, part of the philosophy of Responsive Classroom is
using logical consequences as our behavioral approach. Logical consequences are
a powerful and respectful way of helping students take responsibility for their
actions. Logical consequences are always related to the child’s behavior. The belief
underlying the use of logical consequences is that with reflection and practice
children will want to do better. We use reflection sheets to support student in
fixing their mistakes in a thoughtful and reflective way, so they feel
empowered to change their choices. You can read more about logical consequences
