The Power of Circles
Circling back to how versatile circles can be!
Waipāhīhī has recently reacquainted itself with circles, and it's amazing how a simple geometric shape can help hearts connect, minds expand, and understanding flourish in the classroom:
Icebreaker / Learning Circle – where learners can share their perspective and exchange ideas via a fun activity.
Dialogue Circle - where topics and ideas intertwine to create rich conversation and meaning.
Decision Making Circle – where voices unite and co-construct expectations and teamwork.
Restorative / Healing Circle – a safe space where harm is healed and a path forward is forged.
Community Building Circle – a celebration of what we have in common and the bonds that unite us all.
