The Circle of Learning

Learning Activities	Levels 1 and/or 2 Learning Outcomes Demonstrated During the Learning Activities
Implementing the solutions: This class has chosen to implement two solutions to the problem of bullying. They have decided to write a letter of concern to the day care director and school principal about bullying. They feel that more professional development is needed for teachers and day care workers about bullying. In their letter, they will include statistics found during their research and quotations from their interviews. The adult learners will write letters individually, in pairs, or in small groups, so that the more proficient writers can help those who are still learning reading and writing skills. Some of the learners want to work on their computer skills and have offered to type and print the letters on the computer. They have also decided to create a few homemade books about bullying. They will write the books with the children in the day care as a project in the after-school program. They will interview the children about bullying and then use the children's words to create the text of the books. The children will be encouraged to draw pictures to go with the stories. Some of the homemade books will stay in the day care, and some will be given to the school library.
