A one-day immersive workshop for educators, facilitators, and youth development professionals to explore how our adventure curriculum can support your advisory group. See what it looks like to build a safe and supportive space and activate growth and reflection.
Circle of Strength consists of a curriculum to help your classroom, school, team, or program enhance your advisory experience. This curriculum can also be used outside of school in any organization that meets regularly with a group of young people. This could include youth groups, teams, after school programs and more!
Circle of Strength is a new Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) advisory curriculum with 15 tailored lessons for grades 6-12. Each grade has a SEL focus – such as building healthy friendships or embracing diversity – which you will see reflected in the curriculum’s core lessons. This workshop is designed to introduce you to the book, practice facilitating activities, and support adapting it to your setting.
The Circle of Strength curriculum utilizes PA activities and methodologies to build healthy relationships and develop SEL competencies. The activities in Circle of Strength are experiential in nature and designed for students and adults to build community through play. They replicate the powerful aspects of larger adventures - things like elements of surprise, problem-solving, reflection, self-discovery, and connection with others – in a more manageable and accessible setting. You will also learn the basics of facilitation versus teaching to support your programming. You can add any of these activities into your preexisting advisory curriculum, or start fresh!
During this workshop you will:
Learn how to utilize SEL focused adventure activities in the advisory space and experience them yourself
Discuss and implement PA core foundations as they apply to the advisory community
Practice facilitation skills and preview the 15 lessons across each grade to build growth and reflection into your advisory spaces
Adapt and customize activities for any setting, support your current efforts in the advisory space
Connect with others doing similar work and reflect on your experiences to deepen your application
You will leave with:
A copy of our Circle of Strength Book
Ready to use strategies and PA foundations
A clear understanding of how to cultivate community in your advisory spaces
