The UK’s expert on Circle Time – Jenny Mosley – has thoroughly revised her classic book on how to promote positive behaviour and self-esteem in secondary schools through the use of Circle Time. It not only provides an introduction to
running Circle Time in secondary schools – it also links Circle Time to SEAL (Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning).
The implementation of Jenny’s ‘Whole School Quality Circle Time Model’ leads to:
• Positive relationships throughout school
• Personal, moral and social development in all students
• Sound self-esteem in all members of the school community
• Respectful and democratic school systems
• Reduction in bullying
• Positive behaviour management
• Democratic listening systems which develop a sense of Citizenship.
The book includes suggestions for 20-minute circle time sessions linked to the SEAL themes –
particularly ideal for tutorial periods and PSHE sessions, but also for use during any subject lesson.
The teachers are not forgotten as Jenny has included a section on staff well-being and suggestions on how to raise
energy levels, and how to keep their own sense of self-esteem buoyant.
