A field book is defined as a collection of primary source documents and observations made during field research. The structure of Circle in the Classroom: Field Book 1 is similar, in that it extends an invitation to come to circle, to consider the practice, and to respond as an observer of learning while actively changing the shape of classroom culture. This book is an interactive instrument designed to encourage students of circle methodology to be explorers of their own experiences - first, as learners, and always, as growing educators.

A community is a place where people bring their best selves, find the resources they need to thrive, and collaborate with others. Through conversations, activities, and guided self-reflections, Conversations That Transition to Community helps individuals come together and build community.
