Social Circle Resources

What is a Social Circle?

Each day, our teachers spend 30 minutes of relationship-building activities with their students. This can take form in many different ways such as one-on-one conferences, a game, simple questions, team building competitions, or watching a video and hosting a class discussion. During this time, students are building their skills in the CASEL5: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making.
