for Special Subject Teachers & Paraprofessionals

This consistency and reinforcement supports students in practicing and using Open Circle skills throughout the school day. Participants develop basic knowledge of Open Circle, reflect on and appreciate their unique roles as specialists, and create practical applications of Open Circle tools for their work.
