Parental Guidance
Please be advised that due to the nature of the Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) activities in our circles class, unsolicited (and potentially highly emotional) expressions around sensitive topics may be shared. Rest assured that students will be reminded of circle guidelines before each circle session. Confidentiality will be strictly upheld; however, in situations such as this, I will respond by encouraging the student to speak with a trusted adult. Parents will be notified if a student expresses a danger to themselves or others.
Supply List
Each learner should come with a talking piece. A talking piece can be any item that means something to the learner. The talking piece serves as a visual reminder that only the person holding up their talking piece has the floor to speak. The talking piece helps resolve the issue of any one person dominating the discussion and encourages active listening.
