-Ameeta D'Souza, Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties
'This is a text colleagues will want to recommend to school staff through our consulatation and collaborative working to supplement agreed actions, and to suggest as follow-up reading, provide further practical ideas and advice for implementing Circle Time activities. Teachers will find this an accessible and clearly structured handbook' -
Debate
'Like most teachers each summer I aim to read at least one professional self-improvement book. It's often a struggle because the last thing I really want to do when I collapse exhausted at the end of the academic year is to reflect on how to improve my performance as a teacher. The books I read are always worthy, often stimulating, but rarely have much practical impact when I get back into the classroom harness. "Circle Time for Emotional Literacy" is different. I read it in August and not a week has gone by since when I have not re-visited it.
'Sue Roffey is a teacher and every word is written with busy practising teachers in mind. I have used her book to teach citizenship to a Y7 class who now think citizenship is all about having fun and playing games. I have seen a difficult class begin to interact with increasing confidence. Quiet students have begun to assert themselves and the loud ones seem far less dominant. All now accept that they can be paired with and work with any other member of the group. Personal and social development is taking place within a supportive class atmosphere. And the wonder for me is that lessons take only minutes to prepare through picking and mixing from the book's huge menu of games and activities.
'Next term we are going to tackle democracy; and from the starting point of the students already experiencing it, I expect it to be a doddle' - Amazon review
'This book provides a wonderfully lucid account of what needs to happen if Circle Time sessions are to promote emotional literacy of children and young people...exceptionally well written...a user-friendly resource...invaluable to any teacher interested in starting or promoting Circle Time...I would strongle recommend it as a school resource. It would also be a useful addition to an EPS Service library.' Meryl Chetwood, Educational Psychologist
