“The students were very excited about the wall display that I put up when they were out of the room. They have interacted with it positively. The girls have been more sensible than the boys and it’s alerted me to a couple of students that were struggling but appearing on top of things.
I think for me it’s opened that door to have conversations with some of the students that I might not have had otherwise.
The students enjoyed the videos. Some of the parent letters have been very moving. I’m encouraging the students to put them in their time capsules.
I teach at a high school so it has been a bit challenging getting into a routine with the kids using the charging station.
Although I’m placing feedback I plan to keep on using the kit through next term too as I don’t think we have finished with it yet.
I’ll add photos next week when I’m back in school preparing for term 3.”
“This kit was a great framework to discuss mindset and self esteem with students. In a smaller classroom it was difficult to have the wall setup desired by the kit and we ended up mostly using the checkin and a smaller recharge station. Discussions with kids were good and they seemed more comfortable checking in with teacher.”
“The students really enjoyed the 'My Self Confidence 21' kit. Some of the students have identified it as one of their highlights of the term. The students especially enjoyed filling out the booklets.”
“This kit has very visual images and practical topping up you self information which was accessible to a variety of ages. Some students struggled with the self reflection aspects which needed quite a lot of scaffolding for my bunch this time. However most students in the class found this self confidence kit useful and it got them thinking. Thank-you.”
