This booklet presents a description of the Responsive Education Program (REP) by summarizing the book entitled "The Responsive Education Program." Each of the 12 parts of the summary is a two-page abstract of a paper in the book. The papers summarized describe the program's goals, objectives, principles, and application to the classroom and to staff development. Responsiveness is defined and the rationale of the REP is presented. Cognitive and emotional development, and cultural pluralism in the REP are described. Other abstracts focus on learner objectives, principles and teaching guidelines, language and reading, classroom description, staff development, and evaluation in the REP. The final abstract summarizes a program implementation guide. (Author/RH)
