Responsive Care Program. Final Report.
CEMREL, Inc., St. Ann, MO.
The final report of the Responsive Care Program addresses itself to materials development. The Responsive Care Program was designed to facilitate the development of children's social and cognitive repertoires through provision of a rich environment and responsive instructional techniques. The Response Care Model was first implemented at Syracuse University with preschool children. Assumptions are that optimal learning is likely to occur when a child's basic physical needs are met in a rich environment to which the child has continued access and which provides possibilities for experiences that the child can assimilate and within which adults provide symbolic feedback directly and through modeling. Topics included in the final report are: publicizing the Responsive Care Program, training materials, program implementation materials, evaluation design and instrument selection, and field testing and staff training. Appendices include intentions and features of potential responsive care sites, a questionnaire for preschool programs interested in piloting the Responsive Care model, a memorandum of understanding (a cooperative agreement to implement pilot studies), and a materials packet used in training of directors.
