Course Content

This can be introduced in one day but is better offered over a series of twilight or half day workshops with individualised coaching. We will provide background context for this approach and will directly model the process with real live issues facing participants. So bring your most challenging concerns to this training.

Prefer to learn at your own pace? Take our online course, Insights and Solution Circles. Start the online course.

The course answers the questions:

• Can we find an alternative to permanent exclusion or separate unit or school placement?

• Cannot understand why a child is behaving as they do?

• Struggling with a child for whom praise is ineffective?

• Feeling isolated in your responses to a child’s needs?

• Worried about where your instinctive reactions are leading you?

• Cannot seem to get any consensus view of a young person’s behaviour/needs amongst all the family and professionals involved – is everyone pulling in different directions?

We will cover:

• Setting the tone

• Background and detailed teaching of process

• Inclusion values underpinning this work

• Graphic and process facilitation skills

• Processes modelled and opportunities to try process out with coaching

• Practical setting up of insights and solutions circles

• Lessons learned
