Whole School Quality Circle Time

developed by Jenny Mosley, reputed UK-based teacher-educator author, drama-therapist

An Ecosystemic Approach to nurture a school culture that is
positive and caring towards all stakeholders.

Do you want all your students to...

  • to be confident, well-adjusted, positive individuals?
  • to be sensitive, thoughtful, considerate people?
  • to have good speaking, listening and problem-solving skills?
  • to have excellent work ethic and team spirit?

Do you want all your teachers to…

  • to feel good about themselves and each other?
  • be enthusiastic and confident about their daily responsibilities?
  • have a gentle but firm manner when interacting with students
  • have excellent speaking, listening and problem-solving skills?
  • be role models in terms of collaborative spirit?

As a school leader are you concerned about the need for

  • less aggression and violent behaviour?
  • nurturing skills for personal success amongst young people?
  • developing authentic community and citizenship values?

So how can these vital, multiple needs be met in a meaningful way, focussing equally on children’s academic learning needs and their social and emotional development?

One holistic, highly effective approach, which has been used by hundreds of schools across India for over 20 years is Jenny Mosley’s Whole School Quality Circle Time (QCT). The Teacher Foundation (TTF) is the sole accredited training provider for Jenny Mosley Consultancies, UK. TTF has trained thousands of teachers across India on QCT.

Reading, ‘Riting and ‘Rithmetic are the traditional 3 Rs of education. A fourth equally important R is Relationships and Circle Time fosters this R by enhancing self-esteem, emotional intelligence and team or group work skills of students and teachers in schools.
