for School and District Administrators

Overview
This workshop introduces key Open Circle concepts, approaches, and vocabulary, and explores how administrators can best support social and emotional learning (SEL) in their schools. Participants develop strategies for encouraging consistent and effective Open Circle implementation. They also learn to employ assessment tools for monitoring SEL progress and tracking SEL outcomes, including student social and emotional skill-development and school climate. The workshop provides administrators with techniques for incorporating Open Circle approaches into their own interaction with students, staff and parents.

A panel of seasoned Open Circle school leaders share their experiences, as well as insights into Open Circle best practices. The training provides opportunities for reflection on current SEL practice and exchange of ideas with other administrators from a variety of communities and schools.

Previous participants have been inspired by the new strategies for implementing Open Circle school-wide and for incorporating Open Circle into their everyday work.

Participation in this program includes:

• One 7-hour training day
• One Open Circle Curriculum for each participant, as a reference
• Open Circle Administrator Manual for each participant
• 7 Professional Development hours
