How have the components within the kit helped develop your student self-confidence? They were more open to sharing things with the class with the understanding that everyone finds things slightly different than everyone else.

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? Im not too sure as I didn't actually teach in term 1, but my reliever said that the whole class were amazing with it

“Thank you so much! I actually had a term's leave for Term 1 so my reliever took this unit. I'm completing this on behalf on her. I think every single student benefited from it every single week!”

How have the components within the kit helped develop your student self-confidence? As we had only begun I feel uncomfortable making a rating as I can not really measure the success.

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? Students are provided with a clear way to check in with their class teacher to let them know how they are feeling. I found my year 4 girls responded really well filled in red zone cards. I had no boys fill in a red zone card.

“I teach in a Year 3 and 4 composite class. As a class, we had set up the charging station and the students were really interested in the process of checking in on how they were feeling. Due to a wide range of literacy levels, some children were not able to access the cards independently so as a class we had begun to explore a few daily. The booklet was well designed but as a lot of my children were 7, I was in the process of simplifying and adapting the activities. I am basing my ratings below on only having begun to touch on the kit with my class so my ratings are only an initial perception of the effectiveness of the kit. I have not modified the kit for home learning but will be using the charging station and adapting some of the activities for when we are back in school. I feel this kit would be great to develop for 3 levels Yr0-2, 3-4, 5-8.”

How have the components within the kit helped develop your student self-confidence? This kit is awesome for breaking down the parts that influence us as people and in turn our self-confidence. It is very eye opening and helps with processing the how and why of what makes us, us and self-efficacy.

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? The kit is a great tool for learning to recognise and verbalise feelings...and also the various impact this can have on different people. In turn, this has helped with communicating feelings and needs.

“I really love this kit, it has worked in really well with our PB4L-SW qualities. My class are very low learners so I just made some activities to do alongside it as writing activities etc to use before they doing each of the pages in their booklets.”

How have the components within the kit helped develop your student self-confidence? The main component of the kit we had used before lockdown was the charging station. The students had begun to use this without prompting and were filling in the forms if they needed help. We had just started on the booklets.

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? The red letter has been great as I have had a couple of children with tricky home situations who have used it to let me know how they are going. They have said that it made it easier to tell me they needed help and then they knew I would find time to talk

“Thank you for a fabulous kit. We had only just begun on the activities so we will have plenty to work through once we go back. My class were really enjoying the charging station and it was great to see them sitting down and independently reading the cards. Before the lock down most of the children were in the green and orange zones and were supporting each other well. The red letters were also working well and the children who used them told me they liked being able to leave me a letter and know that I would follow up with them as soon as I could. I was just starting on the booklet and the children were enjoying having their own booklet to fill in. This year our year 4 team is trying a programme called Bounceback and both programmes go really well together. They are both going to be vitally important as we head back to a "new normal"sometime in the near future and I am really glad I have these programmes to help support the students as they make the transition back into school. Thank you so much for putting this kit together. It was perfect for my class before lockdown happened and will be an important part of our day moving forward. Unfortunately my photos are at school on another device so I will share them with you once we get back to school.”

How have the components within the kit helped develop your student self-confidence? Initial activities have given some children a little insight into the discrepancy between how we see ourselves and how others view us. They were beginning to explore their own strengths.

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? In our classroom, we did not get to the phase of using the charging station. I did find that the huge number of components and instructions for using this aspect of the kit were a bit off-putting.

“Unfortunately the timing of the lockdown meant that we really hadn't moved past the first introductory phase of the kit. The kids really enjoyed what we had done, and as always the teacher planner was well resourced. A highlight was the extremely high response rate we got to the letters sent home, and the thoughtful, caring responses from whanau.”

How have the components within the kit helped develop your student self-confidence? We had just started to use the charging station but not to its full potential before lockdown struck. The booklets were a little detailed for my students but we enjoyed working on the portraits and 'judging a book by it's cover' activity.

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? We were just getting in to it. It was a good way to tell how students were feeling, even if it was just little things. I can see that this is a resource that should be used every year to build self confidence and resilience in students.

“My students and I really enjoyed the activities leading into the Self Confidence kit. The videos were very powerful and we had great conversations about them and the message being delivered. The morning tokens were also good to use to gage how students were feeling and to give them confidence to talk to the teacher about what was making them feel sad, or start to use the charging station independently.”

How have the components within the kit helped develop your student self-confidence? I think this kit will really support students dealing with anxiety and uncertainty after the Covid 19 lock down is lifted and help support them with re retry back into school.

“This looks like a great kit. Due to the Covid 19 lock down we have not yet begun this kit. We plan to start once the students come back to school as I feel this will really support them with their re entry to school and dealing with our ever changing lives at the moment. Please note I have clicked the neutral button below when it asked how successful the kit has been as I have not started yet. However, from looking through the kit it looks excellent.”
