for Core Program Graduates
Overview
This year-long program trains graduates of the Core Program to become Peer Coaches for Open Circle in their school. Participants learn to provide the coaching component of the Core Program to colleagues implementing the Open Circle Curriculum. Recent research on best practices in social and emotional learning (SEL) highlights the importance of in-classroom coaching by colleagues for new SEL practitioners.
Participants are expected to:
- Model an Open Circle Meeting for up to three teachers participating in the Core Program and visit their classrooms twice during the year for peer coaching
- Arrange biannual meetings and activities to energize colleagues who are using Open Circle
- Provide on-going, informal support to all teachers implementing Open Circle in the school
- Earn Coach recertification by attending Open Circle's Coach Institute every 3 years
Participation in this program includes:
- Four 7-hour training days
- One Open Circle Coach Manual for each participant
- 28 Professional Development hours
- Optional 3 graduate credits from Framingham State University (additional fee and assignments required)
- Coach certification for three years
