I am watching this for my degree program at WGU and I love this practice and I will definitely incorporate it in my own classroom.
Watching this for my degree program at WGU... I love this practice!!! Will definitely use in my classroom someday!
What program are you in becuase I am in the Masters of Secondary Education English Lit program. I agree with you that it's a good idea and every teacher could implement in their classroom.
This is wonderful.
i don't like the confrontational aspect of making people stand in the center of the circle. this can work just as effectively without that component.
Human connections is such a key to helping everyone feel like they belong... any suggestions on how to do this with society in COVID mode and keeping 6 feet apart?
I would like to know the challenges the school faced/ faces while introducing this system. I can't imagine I would trust all these people immediately. How did they build relationships and an environment where students feel they can be vulnerable? The video doesn't really talk about how they accomplished this.
You have to establish expectations, to build trust and also keep practicing the circles so the children can know what to do. Building trust is important so the more the kids spend time with you the better at building trust they will be, but try it, it works at my school
They make you do the work well at my school they do they grade us on that how would that even help us mentally its just more stress to the kid teen etc
Isn't that therapy
Why does this have to be gendered? Enforcing that distinction would seem to undo many of the benefits the idea is supposed to offer...
And gender groups are alienating for people who are not cis-gendered. We need to move on from "boys/girls".
I know when I was this age I was self-conscious speaking in front of boys. I definitely would not have opened up about my body changing etc if boys were in the room. This should be optional for those who like gender separation for the circle.
Agreed
I don't find the airing your personal conflicts in front of others in a circle to be appropriate. Personal conflicts should be resolved privately, not publicly. It's comes off as more of a struggle session than anything.
