Classroom circles have been used in Bakersfield City School District for several years. It is widely used as a way to "build community" in the classroom and provide a sense of love and belonging. Research shows that classroom circles:

• Build positive relationships and reduce misbehavior

• Build trust, community and safer  environments

• Allow students to get to know each other, be vulnerable & share their story

• Help engage learning by tying circles with academics
