How have the components within the kit helped develop your student self-confidence? Body image was discussed during puberty and all of the children felt more comfortable being able to ask questions. The children are more aware of themselves and how to ask for help, give and receive compliments.

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? The kit has helped students become more confident to ask questions, especially during our puberty unit and talking about body image I had a lot of the girls ask to meet to chat about how they feel about themselves, strengthened communication.

“This kit was great. It fitted in well with our well being focus this term and I was able to discuss puberty and body image using the kit too. The resources are bright and colourful and relate so well with what is going on in the world today. The children loved giving and receiving compliments, although they found it hard to begin with it is becoming more natural to do now.”

“The presentation of the kits is amazing, and the topics are all excellent. However, this year I have struggled to find the time in the classroom to implement these, especially as the lockdown set our learning progression back significantly. I also didn't spend the time to navigate the website to find step by step lesson plans on how to utilise the resources. One of my professional goals next year is to invest time over the January break to learn how to use these resources.”

How have the components within the kit helped develop your student self-confidence? Students confidently engaged with online learning and worked far more independently to complete set tasks. Some of them for the first time recognized their personal level of confidence and explored ways to further develop this. Increased growth mindsets.

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? Because the year got off to a rocky start with covid in Term 1, it took a bit longer for students to feel that they could talk openly to us. As we explored and used the resources in the kit, students began to open up more about their concerns & anxieties.

“We were still working on the Dove Self esteem kit when we went into lockdown. Some of the material was too advanced for our students, particularly the content of the videos, but the self awareness booklet was excellent. We were particularly interested in how it related to the work we were doing around Zones of Regulation. We used this extensively for our students to develop their own personal journey through the zones. Each student created a slideshow presentation as we worked through the resources in the kit and used them to deepen their understanding of the Zones and to develop student's personal self-awareness!”

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? see above comment

“This Kit has been used in a new programme run in our school called Mana Wahine. It's a girls group run by one of our experienced Teacher Aides. The girls who attend are some of our more 'challenging ones ' and this kit has been an integral part of their Term 3 Programme. Here is some feedback from Whaea Awhina who takes the group; Just a little feedback from our mana wahine program. Thanks for the Dove Self esteem project school kit. What we have learned together as a roopu is know who we are (identity) finding what they like and what triggers them to be in space that is not safe and finding ways that can help them to recover from that unsafe place (mind). Communication has been a key factor with these books being able to share and listen to each other, recognising their weaknesses and drawing strength from those around them. So at this stage we have incorporated the Power of our words ie “what you speak becomes your destiny” be kind you get kindness, speak bad, well same thing applies. We are working on ways to respond positively and react in the same manner. Some of our Mana Wahine are working on self esteem so alot of trust is developing and the freedom to be who they are without the judgements. What i like about the project Dove is it when we start we research your own name and the comments from the girls. They really like the strength or sincerity in the names they were born with. Whaea Awhina.”

How have the components within the kit helped develop your student self-confidence? The cards have given the children the ability to use them privately to give themselves a bit of a confidence booster. The kids initially found the charge mat very funny but then I would send children over to it for a confidence boost which seemed to work.

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? The journal was great to use with the children as we could self check when doubts were creeping in and it helped start a conversation between myself and the student.

“This was a great kit to support my children's learning in circle time. I used it with my class of Year 6s and it helped support all the conversations we have around wellbeing and self worth. I have found it particularly useful to support their thinking as they move onto intermediate and the doubts creep in.”

How have the components within the kit helped develop your student self-confidence? It has been a busy term and we didn't get to complete all of the activities this term. However their self confidence and willingness to share their ideas and feelings without judgement has been great.

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? I loved the check in aspect which allowed them to do it privately and let me know what's up without it being in front of the class if they were feeling down.

“I loved using this kit with my class. I wish term 4 hadn't been as busy so we could have got through more of the activities and seen more growth and changes in mind set. I hope to keep implementing some of the routines and continue working on conversations to build resilience.”

How have the components within the kit helped develop your student self-confidence? After being in lockdown for over 10 weeks this really impacted the student's well-being. Digital NZ was a great resource for looking at the inner beauty and recognise the preconceived opinions we hold of others based on an image.

How have the components of the kit helped develop Student-Teacher communication? This Dove Kit has been useful during Covid lockdown and back in the class. The resilience activities were very useful and the circles of influence activity led to insightful reflections.

“With the students that returned for the last 5 weeks here in Auckland, the Dove Self Esteem 2021 has been very helpful. They enjoyed the tasks and unpacking the learning that helped them recognise and acknowledge different types of feelings and how they might manage these. It has helped them to be more resilient and lifted their mana!”
