How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? Great to review the language being used and having a mix of ways that students can 'check in' with us.

“We had this kit lined up ready to launch into our 'getting ready for camp week' it looked like the perfect tool to get our learners talking about concerns and developing strategies. But then Covid arrived and that was the end of that.”

How have the components within the kit helped develop your student self-confidence? The children discuss how they feel about things quite freely, there is no fear of this in the classroom.

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? It was great being able to know how the children were feeling. I checked the box and if any child had put a token into the 'feeling low' part of the box I was able to take them aside and talk to them. This was a great way to build up their trust in me at

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? This has allowed the staff to appraoch students who have indicated that they would like to talk. It has helped the students to identify their emotional state each day.

“We started this kit in Term One and the students enjoyed being able to tell us non verbally how they felt. We were able to use this kit as a tool to help start building trust and relationships with our new students and try to encourage them to build their own self-confidence. Unfortuantely due to COVID-19 we had to put the use of this kit on hold - but we are aiming to look again at it in Term 3.”

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? The charging station is supporting students that identify as feeling 'in the red' to becoming more comfortable to say so and using the checklist sheets is helping us to recognise reasons why or who can help etc.

“Unfortunately we weren't able to delve too far into the kit before the lockdown however the initial introduction (setting up the display, letters home to whānau - a huge thank you for making them in te reo Māori for us, etc) was really engaging for the students. We had just begun identifying how we felt at the beginning of each day and using the tokens. This is an activity that students immediately did upon returning to school after the lockdown and we have now begun introducing the cards and looking at ways that we can boost our own self-confidence and the confidence of our classmates. It will definitely be a year long journey with this kit - thank you so much!”

How have the components within the kit helped develop your student self-confidence? They enjoyed the reflection at the end of the day regarding their token. We combined with another class to do the teaching, so they enjoyed sharing their ideas with others. Coming back to school students are still using the cards to help themselves.

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? No one used the red letter. But the class knew that if they put their token in red, I would check up with them individually and they really appreciated that. They loved using the tokens and taking the time to think about how and why they feel like that.

“I really enjoyed the 'My Self' booklet, which helped guide each of the lessons (focused on one of the self areas a week). The use of the 9 criteria to use as examples was extremely helpful for the kids. I think the overall use and resources provided did help my class understand what resilience is, how to understand their own feelings and ways to cope - but with so many cards to look through (to them it was very overwhelming). So I took this feedback on board and peeled away some layers to start. The class thoroughly enjoyed using their token and talking about why they put it where they did and if they used a card to help them or a friend. Overall I think it is a valuable resource. I was saddened to not finish the unit (due to school closure) but have continued aspects into the new term.”

How have the components within the kit helped develop your student self-confidence? We used this kit in connection with our school values and school wide behaviour management "Play is the way". It linked to the idea of children knowing who they are and what they value in life and keeping this in mind when forming friendships.

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? See above.

“We really enjoyed the booklet, in particular the all about me page and the circle of influence. This really made the children think about themselves and what is important to them in life. The circle of influence ignited some brilliant discussions about values. This has been especially important as we often have friendship issues amongst year 7 girls so being able to refer back to who is important to them and why has been a great ability.In a "normal"situation I think this kit would have worked really well and we would have been able to take more advantage of the charging station and bring these activities into the class. Our HPS (Health Promoting Schools) group spent a lot of time last year learning about emotional intelligence and how to identify how we are feeling. It would have been the perfect opportunity for them to share their knowledge with the hub and use the charging situation to support their knowledge.”
