Circle of Courage Award

                                         

The Circle of Courage philosophy is used in our classroom to promote generosity, belonging, independence and mastery. It creates a sense of community and provides students with a framework for using similar language. Each month a student is recognized for their achievements in one or all of the areas and receives the Circle of Courage award. The award is giving during a talking circle where we discuss class achievements and goals. During this time students are also asked to recognize one of their classmate's strengths.
