How have the components within the kit helped develop your student self-confidence? The components gave my students a chance to talk/share/communicate their fears/thoughts in an engaging way.

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? The Charging Station/tokens certainly helped students by giving them 'ownership' of their feelings/reactions. It was important to be able to show them that they can change/top up how they were feeling and gave them some idea of how others were feeling.Fab

“This was a wonderfully presented, comprehensive and engaging kit that was helpful for my students negotiate the many questions and concerns they had. It helped to foster an atmosphere of acceptance (although they are on the whole a pretty accepting lot!!).”

How have the components within the kit helped develop your student self-confidence? They were able to understand why their uniqueness is special and important to them and others. They knew what made them them and were able to work on aspects that they didn’t feel confident about.

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? I checked in wohf the any children in orange or red daily. I now understand why some of my children do things on certain days and can support them through these worries and problems without it showing up as behaviour or disengagement.

“This kit just happened to be used by my class and I in Term 3 when we needed it the most! Lockdown was a stressful time and aspects of this kit ensured my students were well prepared with strategies and knowledge to help ease any anxieties they had. Daily check ins were compulsory and meant that I was able to support those students who were having a rougher time than others. I will continue to use this resource in my class for years.”

How have the components within the kit helped develop your student self-confidence? I believe it made them more aware of all the things they were really good at therefore leading to self-confidence.

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? I think this is still an area in the classroom that we need to work on but it definitely has improved with children expressing their feelings more openly.

“The kids really enjoyed the activities within the book and also made them more aware of different aspects that were highlighted instead of overall. They also really liked the check in station and how there were different cards to help if you were feeling a specific way. One bit of feedback for next time could be adding some explanations for the different aspects such as in self awareness one was called using quiet voices.”

How have the components within the kit helped develop your student self-confidence? Again we just didn't get the time unfortunately - am planning to carry it into next term.

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? Again we just didn't get the time unfortunately - am planning to carry it into next term. Although I had introduced the teacher note if they were on red and they have really taken to that - recording their ideas and talking to me about issues.

“I only kit this kit in Term 3 (not Term 2). Unfortunately we went into lockdown early on. We got up to getting the letters back from home. The children were enjoying the tokens and we were getting ready to launch the meaty stuff. We will continue this over to Term 4 as well. We really didn't get enough time to do this kit justice and give it the review that it deserves. I know others have raved about it which is why I was keen to get it.”

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? Not completed so can't comment.

“Wasn't quite suitable for my Year 4's. Concept/theme was great but the activities were too hard. Due to lockdown earlier this term we were not able to get right into the kit but have put aside to maybe try again next year. Term 4 I am changing teaching levels to Year 1 so will not be suitable for them.”

“The resource looked really great. We enjoyed seeing the letters from whanau but unfortunately that’s as much learning as we had time for due to lockdown and other commitments. I am keeping the resource and hope to use it another time where possible.”

How have the components within the kit helped develop your student self-confidence? Great ways to articulate how they are feeling. I work a lot with student leaders and they particularly liked the ways to pay it forward.

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? This is not a component we have explored much as yet.

“Great resources. Well made, good instructions, possibly too many instructions and quite a lot to get your head around during the initial set-up phase. Have been in lockdown since the middle of week 4 of term 3 so have hardly used it at all other than to have discussions with groups of children as they come to my office.”

How have the components within the kit helped develop your student self-confidence? That the student’s came to realise they were in charge of their confidence- what they can do about their moods, what they can ignore and what they can control.

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? Check in token was enjoyable for the students and gave me an insight into anxiety of returning after lockdown. Filing out the red form with students helped the student articulate their problems better.

“What a wonderful kit. I introduced this kit alongside the introduction of zones of regulation as that is a focus for our school. As I teach Y3/4 I launched it differently to last year as I’d done this with my 5/6 class. I had 2 envelopes of each colour on the board and read new cards to them each day. We would all make an effort to practice those booster skills that day. I would also read the class a page from How do I feel? Your resource is wonderful with how explicit it is with self awareness. It was perfectly timed with our whole school focus of the zones. The students looked forward to popping their token in the box every morning. This was especially used after lockdown as I could see how they were actually feeling. The booklet is wonderful. Again, I adjusted my teaching a little to last year owing to age difference. There were lots of pages that made it into the display! Things I can/can’t control so valuable for particular students that can often feel ‘hard done by’. A wonderful kit to connect with self confidence, awareness and regulation. Thanks, School Kit!”
