Virtual PD: Proactive Circle Keeping & Responsive Circle Keeping Part I

Registration Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/Es7ZrT-PTDe0EMEAFDIbBQ

Description: This two-part workshop is for teachers, youth workers, and other professionals who wish to build community and facilitate circles at their school/organization/agency. During the first session, participants will learn the fundamental processes of community-building circles through direct experience and reflection that includes design, facilitation, and assessment of their readiness to apply circles to their work.

In the second session, participants will focus on the responsive circle as a structured intervention for severe and complex incidents of harm. They will discuss preparatory meetings, mock circles, written agreements and review re-entry processes and share feedback to enhance skill development.

All professional development sessions teach skills and practices that you can implement immediately.
