Restful Teaching

In this single day of consulting with your teachers, a CiRCE representative will present the five principles of restful teaching. Teaching doesn’t need to be a stressful, intimidating activity. Restful teaching is possible!

Topics will include:

  • Restful Teaching – perceiving truth and Truth
  • Restful Planning – three modes of teaching/learning
  • Restful Curriculum – arts of truth-fishing
  • Restful Pedagogy – teaching truth
  • Restful Assessment – evaluating truth perception

If these topics resonate with your school’s needs, we can also develop this into two or three days of training weaving in practice activities to help tie down the ideas and internalize the skills.
