for Special Subject Teachers & Paraprofessionals

Overview
This workshop introduces key Open Circle concepts, approaches, and vocabulary, and explores how specialists and support staff can reinforce Open Circle concepts and use them to enhance their own work. 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.
