This book explains the Quality Circle Time Model and its application for older pupils. Supporting teachers to enhance their own self-empowerment and to inspire it in others, it offers over 100 themed activities and practical strategies. Building 'emotional literacy' and respectful assertiveness through circle time will complement your behaviour management and anti-bullying policies. Frankly reported case studies give useful examples and prove it's never too late to introduce Quality Circle Time.
