“This kit's fundamental goal is a vital one for students in 2020 and one where we need relevant NZ-made resources. The most beneficial part from the short time we were able to use the kit in class was the checking in with the tokens.”

“Hi there, I had this scheduled to start just before the end of term 1 and then flow it through the beginning of Term 2. I went over the teacher info and the contents in the box. It looked fabulous and I had an area to set it up. As I am in a hub of 84 students with 2 other staff we were identifying students that we thought would benefit more from this. Hoping to start this upon our return. Or at least once we can get back into school I can grab it to start online”

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? I found the Charging Station hard to set up and a bit confusing

“The booklet was really awesome, and the discussions we had as a class around some of the links to videos was great. I really like the cards great prompts for discussions and sharing ideas.”

How have the components within the kit helped develop your student self-confidence? Students were able to own how they felt each day by placing their token in the box. It gave them a sense of admitting to themselves how they were feeling; like they were being held accountable.

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? Students who were putting tokens into the 'red' were followed up with and they felt valued that someone cared about how they were feeling. We were able to talk our way through students' feelings and they came out better on the side of it.

“Our class didn't really get stuck into this unit before lockdown occured. We charging station. I believe that this kit was a bit beyond my year 3 students, and my year 4 students were only starting to get stuck into it. It had been put into the plan for term 2.”

“The kit was full of good ideas that were easily used and adapted to suit the needs of each class. What I would have liked would have been a paper outline and sequence so that it could sit on the desk and things could be crossed off and notes jotted down whether it was directly related to the lesson just given or a follow up etc like a working document instead of having to continuously go in and out of the computer. The resources were well thought out and pertinent.”

How have the components within the kit helped develop your student self-confidence? I think self confidence to share ideas as we built our class culture was developing. The learning about each other from the questions asked in the booklets was helping that.

“This was my very first time getting a kit and it was great. I did need to use the facebook page examples as I wasn't completely sure with the initial set up. We didn't finish the kit, but the activities that we did were very worthwhile. The learning about ourselves and each other was very important especially at the beginning of the year as we were building whanaungatanga in our class. The charging station was a perfect opportunity for students to think about and if needed write about how they were feeling. It was interesting as a teacher when some students used that opportunity to write if something had happened at home or something was happening in their friendship groups. They may not have wanted to talk to me about it but it was really good to be aware. I was able to have a couple of quiet conversations with students about some stuff that was going on for them and help them find some solutions for problems they were worried about.”

“I LOVED the resilience kit. The kids were SO curious as to what it's about, and when they realised, and started reading some of the cards - they were enormously engaged. Yet another SUPERB product from the School Kit team!”

“I am not a classroom teacher so I used this differently. I am the Dean of Year 8, so when my regular children came to see me to discuss behaviour or a pastoral situation, we used the kit. I had the recharge station on the floor of my office and the students who used it even at 12 years old, loved the ability to be able to start a fresh. They had the booklet that they completed when needing to cool and calm, and then we would post in the box and choose a card. That would become their new goal which I would check in with over the next few days to see how this was going.”
