This is a very practical guide to a teaching approach that enables children to become more powerful learners, it is also an opportunity to spend time with a big-hearted person who understands what happens for children in school and how circles can help them grow.' - James Park, PROGRESS Director, Human Scale Education ()
'Grounded in contemporary research, Roffey ignites the reader's conviction that 'I can do this too!' Gifting the educator with a treasure chest of fresh, engaging, practical and applicable ideas, this book makes it possible for every teacher to build both the learning and well-being of all young people.'

- Kerry Bird, Project Manager for Personal and Social Development Education in Catholic Education - Cairns and Brisbane
