Proactive & Academic Circle Keeping

Target Audience: Teachers, Youth Workers, Other Professionals
Are you interested in building community and facilitating circles at your school or in the community? Participants will learn the underlying assumptions, primary features, and fundamental processes of community-building circles through direct experience and reflection. Join us to practice designing and keeping circles and get feedback on your skills. Participants will receive reference materials to guide them in implementation. This session is a stepping stone for participants who are interested in pursuing additional training to facilitate more advanced responsive circles.

All professional development sessions use a trauma-informed approach and teach skills and practices that you can implement immediately. We highly encourage participants to join our weekly coaching sessions for a deeper dive into the challenges of implementation and practice. All 2021-2022 sessions will be held virtually on Zoom.
