Circle Meetings
"Community Building Circles are about giving students opportunity to get to know each other and establish positive connections, including agreements about how they ought to treat each other. Every circle includes community building activities in the beginning. Some circles focus exclusively on this task by building and deepening connections among students. Connection can be invited in several dimensions besides the interpersonal. There is connecting to physical sensation, for example. Before passing the talking piece you can invite students to sit quietly with their eyes closed and tune in to what their bodies are feeling. The same goes for emotions, and for what thoughts or concerns might be present. The aim here is to support students in whatever process they are feeling; to give permission to 'come as you are'." -Excerpt from Teaching Restorative Practices with Classroom Circles (http://www.healthiersf.org) |
