LINKING CIRCLE TIME TO LITERATURE

This blog is designed to help transform your pedagogical experience. 

If you:

• are a Primary / Elementary School educator - government, private independent, religious, kids church
• read picture story books to children
• use Circle Time as a tool for Emotional Intelligence, social awareness or are just a novice to Circle Time 

then I am sure that you will find something in the following posts to that will help you to connect-the-dots between Emotional Intelligence, Circle Time and the use of picture-story books.

As well as primarily providing a resource for educators in the Primary / Elementary School sector to help develop the Emotional Intelligence of students; a secondary desired outcome is that these posts will also contribute towards you re-connecting the soul with the role of teaching.*

Learn how 'Once Upon a Circle Time' can become an irreplaceable tool for:

   Developing Emotional Intelligence through Picture Story books
   Relational & Emotional Exploration through Picture Story books
   Social-relational skill development
   Restorative Practices principles
   Building on previous Circle Time knowledge & experience
   Strengthening Circle Time as circles of trust
   Getting more out of silent statements
   Constructing searching closed-statement
   Developing an understanding of ‘statements without justification’
   Capitalizing on open-ended statements
   Going emotionally deeper - faster - safer in tackling some difficult topics through the use of Picture Story books
   Moving Circle Time beyond the circle into the classroom, school-yard & home
   Foundational & preparatory for Restorative Practices in schools

* Each time I have run a workshop in a school, I have had quite a number of staff comment about how the workshop had helped to re-ignite their passion for teaching.
