School faculty and staff regularly cite “lack of time” as a significant hurdle to implementation of circles amid high levels of demand in their positions. Learning circles utilize the structure and benefits of the circle format to convey and review classroom content. The workshop begins with purposes, benefits, and outcomes of content circles. Educators will practice using content to explore a topic, consider characteristics of prompting questions, and practice building sentence frames. Sample content circles questions included. Learning circles are a great way to engage both academic learning while also teaching valuable communication skills, empathy, and social-emotional skills. Proactive Circle. Workshop Length: 1 hour
