Students in either circle have quick, one on one exchanges with different students in a short amount of time, which is good for trading tips, examples and information.<\/p>\n<p>Inside-outside circle begins with the teacher splitting the class up in half, with one group forming a outside circle, and one the inside circle. The teacher then poses a question for students and gives them time (usually about 30 seconds) to think of a response. The students then share their responses with their partners, who are standing directly across from them. On the teachers signal, the outside circle moves one step to the left\/right and discusses the same question with a new partner. <\/p>\n<p>This is a great tool for allowing students to gain different ideas and perspectives of any given topic, as well as actively encouraging community building among students. A couple other benefits are that some students may find it safe or easier to enter into a discussion with another classmate rather than with the entire class. Also, there is no specific materials needed for this strategy, so it can be easily incorporated into lessons.<br \/>\nWe have used this tool in Gus\u2019 class, where we discussed our thoughts on certain prompts regarding classroom management with different classmates.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"197\" height=\"209\" src=\"https:\/\/inside.ewu.edu\/managementtoolbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/204\/2018\/11\/Inside-outside-circle-pic.jpg\" class=\"size-medium alignright wp-image-516\" alt=\"\" \/>The Inside-outside circle tool falls under the Supportive phase. This tool would be within this phase because it is a way to help students interact with one another individually to share their ideas and answers to a given question. Along with this, it helps build a sense of community among the students since they interact with different classmates throughout the activity. The theory that this falls under would be student-directed and the collaborative theory. The teacher is the one who gives the prompt\/question and signals to the students when to rotate. On the other hand, the students are the ones guiding the conversation with one another, as well as building a community by collaborating with different classmates.<\/p>\n<p>More Information &#8211;<br \/>\nTool Source: Theteachertoolkit.com<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Teacher Toolkit: Inside Outside Circles (Elementary)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rFCkaPM0zQ8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During this strategy, students form two different circles: half of the group stands in a circle facing outward while the other half forms a circle around them facing inward, rotating whenever the teacher cues.
