Building Supportive Relationships in the Classroom and Across the School Community
TheCircles and Relational Teaching Training
brings together a range of initiatives to assist educators to build
supportive relationships in the classroom. Developed by experienced
facilitators and practitioners in: Restorative Practices, Help
Increase the Peace (HIP) and Circles; the training offers participants
a rich way of approaching social and emotional development in the
classroom.
Circles are a way
to develop social and emotional literacy in schools. Whether used once
a week for 40 minutes or on a daily basis, circle activities help to
develop critical lifelong skills. Whilst once a week will make a
difference, the training looks at how to incorporate content within a
relational teaching framework to strengthen relationships within the
classroom on a daily basis.
Participants will have an opportunity to:
discuss teaching content within a relational teaching framework
design, plan and run a circle time session
develop a range of strategies to build social and emotional literacy
experience many new activities and energisers.
Who should attend? The
training is appropriate for anyone working with groups and students of
all ages. A special emphasis is place on how secondary teachers can
build these strategies into daily teaching practices. Participants
will have an opportunity to reflect on what they are learning and to
put it into practice within the training.
The training is highly practical and interative. Participants receive a workbook.
Max: 24 – although whole schools catered for in terms of introductory days. Ideally the school will have a number of personnel trained in Circles to assist with implementation.
