Please provide 2+ examples of student voice on the kit's impact on them Many of our students are non verbal, but when I asked them about Nurture club at the end of the term (when we had done the Self Confidence kit) they were able to use their Alternative and Augmentative Communication Device (AAC) or Yes/No visuals to say "Yes" they liked it. One of our verbal students said, "The video was cool". It is often difficult to get feedback directly from them, but we do not think communication barriers should prevent us talking about topics like identity, self-esteem, and self-confidence.

Which kit components were the most impactful and why? Letters from a Significant Adult - it was really powerful for students to hear/read positive affirmations from someone who cares about them. I think we can assume that students "know we like them", but students self-esteem is so much more vulnerable than we think, and receiving the affirmation and praise was really powerful. The other component that had a big impact was the video on self-perceptions; I think because it was so visual and perfectly highlighted the point that others perceive us differently to ourselves, and we are our own harshest critic.

What is the legacy this kit will leave behind on your learners? Being kind to yourself and others

In what ways has this kit helped develop student confidence It has been wonderful to see our students begin to interact more with each other, try new experiences, and understand and accept themselves for the unique, special people they are.

What impact has this kit had on your classroom community? Working with this kit in Nurture club has helped us bond as a group, as I think both staff and students could take onboard the messages. It has given us a common language and an on-going focus to keep checking in and building self-esteem.

What impact has this kit had on your classroom community? As above (repeated question)

“I work at a specialist school for students with diverse needs. Last year we began a Nurture Club for our young woman, as we noticed that the students were not interacting much outside their class groups, and many students did not stong support networks outside of school. Nurture Club was a way to build friendships and connections, and also explore some relevant topics from the Health curriculum. One of the biggest things we wanted to do was support our students self-esteem, and that is when I reached out to school kit for the Dove My Self Confidence resource. And gosh, was I was glad I did! The resources are gorgeous and the ideas in the teaching guide really inspiring. The standout activities for us were the Letters from a Significant adult, and the self-perception activity (watching the Dove video of the police illustrator making sketches based on self and then another person's description). It was so powerful, not only for the students but also for the staff who were there to support them. There were quite a few wet eyes that day! We loved the idea of the 'thermometer' checking-in activity; but we had to adapt it quite a bit to make it understandable and relevant for our students. The students are familiar with the 'Zones of Regulation' resource (they use it daily in class), so we ended up tying it back to this. It would be awesome if there was a simpler version of the cards, perhaps with more visuals. Overall, I think this kit is a powerful resource for a really important topic - we were so appreciate it have access to it.”

What impact has this kit had on your classroom community? I teach in a catholic school, so the values align well and helped to put a lot of what we learn into kids speak even more.

“Such a wonderful resourse - I used this with my Year 7/8s and they took so much out of it. We ended up completing 'kindness envelopes' for each at the end of the year where they wrote positive messages to each other based on what they had learnt. They all asked to do it again the next year! Would definitely recommend this resource, it's a great reflection piece for intermediates.”

“The Self Confidence kit is an amazing resource which was an asset in our class in Term one. After Covid and the cyclone last year, well-being has been a focus for us and this kit was relevant in all ways. Children understood that we all deal with things in different ways and this kit married up perfectly with Ko au, whanaungatanga, self identity and our PB4L ethics. It also encouraged a lot of in-depth conversations. I also have a couple of students with high anxiety and this was beneficial to them.”

What impact has this kit had on your classroom community? We all understand that some days are good and some days are bad. We also know we have the power to turn things around.

“It took us a while to get started but once we got going it was lovely to read the letters when they came back. Not all letters came back which was a bit sad for some of the students. The booklets went well but once again for some students the circle of influence was a bit tricky. What has really taken off is the daily check in, its really great and my students that need to check in with me can do it quietly and they know I will check the box for tokens during the day and have a chat with them if needed. I loved the kit and will keep the check in station going all year. It was beautifully presented too!”
