How have the components within the kit helped develop your student self-confidence? We are now a little more willing to take chances and give things a go - even if we don't get it right the first time.

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? The daily check in token has been really useful to those kids who need it and it has helped me develop a good relationship with them to help them focus on their learning.

“My class and I loved completed parts of this kit. While we didn't get to finish it, I really feel that we benefitted from what we did do and this has set us up well for the self resilience we have had to show and use since distance learning has begun.”

How have the components within the kit helped develop your student self-confidence? Tokens - great as they are visual and tactile and involves a physical process when conducting the activity. Cards - great to share and discuss with the class/ groups and individuals with practical examples

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? Helped a lot as we are a Year 7 class with students coming from many schools - an opportunity to ensure everyone has the chance to be 'heard' around emotional things as well as a wide range of other things important to the syudents!

“I found this resource great, and very useful at the start of the year as we have students arriving from many different schools and many different backgrounds. Being a very visual thing the wall display drew the students in instantly. They really enjoyed the daily system of checking in. There was some real variety with the girls who used the feeling low section in terms of what was up - and it was a useful insight in to what they considered as factors to make them feel low. We used the cards on a daily basis to share ways to boost ourselves and others - some real gold and practical examples in there. The students enjoyed the booklets too - particulalrly finding photos from the archive and writing a profile based on appearance. The video links were great too. So, once the wall display was up it was an easy and effective kit to use. Of course it's still up back at school and it may be good to continue with it for a few weeks after we return to check on how everyone is coping post lockdown. Thanks again”

How have the components within the kit helped develop your student self-confidence? For some of the students the message around self confidence was a little lost many of our students acknowledged the importance of self confidence and ways they were developing to help promote self confidence.

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? The students appreciated that we were checking in to see why they were in the red and that they were able to discuss their feelings. Sometimes just us acknowledging how they felt in the morning was all they needed, sometimes nothing further was required.

“We found this kit such a valuable resource within our classroom. The students responded well to checking in each day, some students also developed the confidence to leave a note when they were in the red. We had wonderful feed back from parents/caregivers/neighbours etc when they had the opportunity to write letters to the students.”

How have the components within the kit helped develop your student self-confidence? The language (i.e. ways to talk about feelings) and then the ability for the children to communicate their feelings without having to be obvious about it is a big plus in this kit.

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? It has given me as a teacher a planned approach to develop Student Teacher communication.

“I love this kit but due to having to shift classes to another class while our class was getting refurbished, I decided to wait until we were back in our own class before setting it up. Then the wait dragged on. Finally, back in our class for two days and lockdown Level 4 was announced. I had noticed some children could really benefit from this kit and the underlying stress of COVID was unsettling to many. I have been getting it ready to adapt to an online resource now that I have got my head around how to do this and how to introduce it via Google Meet. I will mark neutral only because we didn't get started (YET!)”

How have the components within the kit helped develop your student self-confidence? The caring adult letter was great - you could see the children's pride reading and sharing what was written about them. The videos about how others view people compared to how they viewed themselves was really relatable and tied in with the letter well.

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? You can see straight away using the check in how kids are feeling in terms of their mood. It has allowed me to have discussions with kids in the red and strengthened relationships with a couple of children.

“I was really excited to receive this kit. I have a class where resilience and confidence has been low. I'm looking forward to using it again once we get back to school - and I think in this Covid-19 environment it will be a great tool to have to discuss feelings, and build on ways to cope with our emotions, as well as building others up along the way. The kit was easy to use, grabbed the children's interest with the display, and hooked them in with hands on practical ways to talk about feelings and strategies to cope with them.”

How have the components within the kit helped develop your student self-confidence? They have realised that they are all different and there are options in any situation. They have also realised that there is more than one way to view a situation and the way it is viewed shapes their ability to deal with it.

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? Learning to talk about their feelings has been a huge to help for me building relationships with my students. We will be revisiting the jounral when we finally return to school.

“It has made the children look at themselves and think about times they could have handled situations differently. They loved looking at the skills they have had passed onto them by the adults around them.”

How have the components within the kit helped develop your student self-confidence? Due to the school closure we didn't get too far with this kit. The kids enjoyed the initial activities are the faces and telling stories based on that. They liked the diary and we were really just starting the check ins.

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? More of a willingness to share how they are feeling was developing.

“I booked this kit for a resilience focus, but discovered it was more around self esteem. That said, the kids love school kits so got into this one too. (Apologies, our photos are on the ipad at school).”

How have the components within the kit helped develop your student self-confidence? Pupils referred back to the cards they had read and could connect their feelings with a strategy on the cards.

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? Red letter was great for communication. Charging Station fab as mentioned above for a reading station also.

“The class (year 6 pupils) loved the Self Charging Station and it is part of our morning routine. I also used the station as part of my reading programme where groups read the cards with a buddy and shared their thoughts/strategies about the card. The booklet had some good activities but some found them a little challenge to read/understand.”
