The Power of Circles - SEL
The Power of Circles - SEL
Perhaps the most important part of the school day is circle time. My vision is for every student to have some time in the school day, consistently, for a caring adult and small community to empathize.
Many students unfortunately have no one that takes an interest in their emotional well-being. Further, many students have no one to talk to, at school and at home. Again, my vision is for every student in every school to have some daily time where they can share their feelings and be heard. This is probably the most important thing we can offer kids, particularly teenagers.
This can be accomplished during the following:
First 10 minutes of school
Last 10 minutes of school
Homeroom
Study Hall
Advisory
Lunch
