Synopsis
The Circle Works model is a transformative teaching model that can help literacy workers - not only in their own healing and development - but also provide some strategies to pass along to their students.
This resource provides educators with a method of teaching/learning about anti-racism based on ancestral Aboriginal philosophies. It can help provide Native and non-Native adult literacy instructors teaching in multi-racial environments, a background and understanding on providing instruction to students.
