“Every child deserves a champion: an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection and insists they become the best the best they can possibly be.’ Rita Pierson
We are on the traditional territory of the Mississauga of the New Credit First Nation
Community Circles
Goals for Community-Building Circles
We feel connected to other people when we sense that they see us, know us, and care about us. That’s what connection circles are about: being seen, being heard, being known, and developing affection. Therefore, the objectives for these circles are that students will feel:
- they have been seen;
- they have been heard;
- they have been understood;
- connected to other students;
- they have given and received respect—and perhaps affection—from classmates.
- Appreciation of Others (i.e. no put-downs)
- Listen Attentively
- Respect Everyone
- Right to Pass (students can pass when it's their turn)
