How have the components within the kit helped develop your student self-confidence? Having specifically identified behaviours for self-belief, self-awareness, self-respect and self-care was the BEST!

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? We tried the "disks"as a form of check in but students felt that they liked to check in with each other or me if needed instead. They loved the mat which was used in our existing 'check-in' area.

“This kit, although interrupted by Covid 19, provided an excellent platform on which to develop a relevant break-down of behaviours needed to help create resilience. I didn't use the kit EXACTLY as outlined in the Teachers Outline but most of it complemented other material I had created. When I interviewed the students about the resource a common theme was that they would rather have come up with their own "shrink"and "boost"cards. We loved the concept of a charging station and by far the most successful activity was referring to the brain texts. Thanks heaps.”

How have the components within the kit helped develop your student self-confidence? We did a lot of work about making judgement and self reflection. I was very interested in how challenging students found it to look at themselves and how uncomfortable it can be to talk about other people. It was confronting in a good way and I think we h

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? Apologies I haven't used the charging station as this is the point we went into lockdown.

“I started to use this kit but then the lockdown came. My initial thought was wow at the quality of the resources. I ran into trouble with some of the send home things because the students I teach had some difficulty making connections. I have to admit I found finding the support material a bit challenging and also the instructions a little unclear but in working with my colleagues we made it fit for our students and staff. I loved the use of emotional language and the children were starting to use the words which was great. As our school has done a reset and our focus is on managing change we didn't continue using the kit but we may use it next term if it's appropriate for our kids and will build from our current teaching.”

“We set the charging station up to coincide with the return from Lockdown. The timing couldn't have been better for us. The students experiencing any form of anxiety were provided with a way to express themselves and seek support. Thank you for all the thought that had gone into this kit!”

How have the components within the kit helped develop your student self-confidence? My students are more willing to talk about how they are feeling. They're slowly becoming better listeners and as a result they are looking out for each other more. We've done lots of work on compliments and identifying strengths too.

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? The charging station has been fantastic! It's great because it's a start of day check in and 'reset'. Lots of my kids have very busy households and they deal with quite a bit before they start school.

“This kit has been awesome for helping students become more aware of themselves and also those around them. They are finding it easier to identify and speak about their feelings. They're also realising that it's ok to feel a certain way and they are able to do something about it. They're also starting to notice other people more and how they're feeling. The interruption to school with lockdown has made it hard to achieve continuity - I haven't yet done all of the tasks and had to revisit some of the ones from the beginning of the year. In saying that, the kit is fantastic and definitely one I will look at doing at the beginning of each year, or whenever the need arises throughout the year. Thank you!”

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? It helped me not just see which students were having a good day, but also it was quicker for me to catch the students who weren't having a good day and deal with the situation sooner thus helping with the students well being.

“This fit in well with the work we did on Growth Mindset at the beginning of the year and helped reinforce the message that they can achieve anything when they have the skills and the know how in overcoming obstacles that can get in the way of their learning. This helped students in sharing ow they felt and paying it forward to others who didn't feel as good as them.”

How have the components within the kit helped develop your student self-confidence? It was more around convincing our tamariki more about the fact that what ever they could do, no matter how hard they tried the next time would be better.

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? My tamariki have realised that teacher's do put alot of time and effort into making sure their needs and education is the main focus 24/7. My tamariki trust me more than prior to lockdown and that was something i needed to work on to gain. Its worked!
