“The focus on specialists takes
into consideration how we can
be involved in this school-wide
initiative.”

“I enjoyed getting the training that others in the building have had – it makes me feel valued and equal to other teachers.”

“Instead of solving problems for students, I’ve learned how to teach students to problem solve for themselves.”

Specialist Workshop
Overview
This workshop introduces participants to key concepts, approaches and vocabulary that students are learning in Open Circle and explores how specialists can use Open Circle strategies to enhance their own work and to coordinate efforts with grade-level teachers. This enhanced consistency and coordination can support students in practicing and using Open Circle skills throughout the school day. Participants develop basic knowledge of the Open Circle program, reflect on and appreciate their unique roles as specialists, and create practical applications of Open Circle concepts for their work.

Participation in this program includes:
• 7 hours (one full day) of training
• 1 copy of the Introduction to Open Circle Manual
• 7 Professional Development Points
• Continental breakfast and lunch

Who Should Attend
This workshop is for special subject teachers, including physical education, music, art, special education, reading, speech, library/media, foreign language, health and school counselors.
