All learning paths Learn See Try Make Keep a learning circle honest What this lesson is about Run a small group where nobody is ranked, nobody is shamed, and the quiet person still gets a turn.
Your Sunday circle has eight members. One answers before anybody else speaks, and two have said nothing for three weeks. What do you do?
A Run a group where nobody is compared, nobody is shamed, and the quiet person gets a turn. B Set a rule yourself that nobody speaks twice before everybody has spoken once. C Split the eight into two smaller groups, so the quick one cannot answer for all.
Check my recall Why this matters Teaching has to keep the person at the centre, not only the subject. A circle that shames somebody loses that person first and the honest questions second. Both losses are quiet, and neither shows in the attendance.

Run a group where nobody is compared, nobody is shamed, and the quiet person gets a turn. Three faults kill a circle: one person answering all, a cruel joke, an unwritten rule. Write the circle's rules with the circle, and change them the same way. Task A circle of eight meets on Sunday. One member answers before anyone else speaks. Two have not spoken in three weeks.
Weak approach Tells the quick member, in front of everyone, to let the others speak first. Then puts a direct question to each of the two silent ones. Two of the eight do not come back.
Stronger approach Puts the turn question to all eight on Sunday. Together they write down that nobody speaks twice until everybody has spoken once. Then he applies what they wrote.
Why the stronger approach works A rule the circle wrote can be used without shaming anybody. Silencing one person in public costs the circle its trust.
Try a changed situation You run a Sunday cricket group where the same two boys always bat first. Which rule still applies?
Make something yourself Write your circle's rules with the people in it. Cover how turns work, what is never said about a person, and how a rule changes. Add one time you had to use them.
