Please provide 2+ examples of student voice on the kit's impact on them I liked checking in and choosing a card. I was embarrassed when I had to fill in a red card. It was good to have a range of responses to choose from, and to help me understand my feelings. I liked hearing the things people said about me.

Which kit components were the most impactful and why? Student self-esteem was boosted when receiving words/letters of encouragement.

What is the legacy this kit will leave behind on your learners? They will already remember 'filling their battery', which is often heard in class.

In what ways has this kit helped develop student confidence Student can now identify their emotions and are not embarrassed to do it.

How has this kit helped develop student resilience? Students have like having easily accessible tools through out the day by going to the charging station. When they can identify their own behaviours, they then understand and take control of their response.

What impact has this kit had on your classroom community? I still hear the language still used and we have a regularly group who use the charging station daily. It would be a good kit to start the year with, rather than Term 4.

“We took some time to unpack the shrink and boost cards, really understanding what it was saying. But once we selected some key ones to engage with, the kids enjoyed using the charging station. The tokens and daily check-in went well. I found the teacher's guide challenging to follow. The layout could be cleaner with bullet points, more subheadings or sections. The journals were great, as were the letters. I sent the journals home and many didn't return, next time they would have to remain at school. Students didn't enjoy the red zone sheet, they felt it made them stand out, or be noticed as being red. They responded well to a quiet check-in orally when there was time apart from the class.”

“Before I could begin using the 'My Self Confidence 23' kit, our school put in a mandatory use of the PULSE app for our school's wellbeing. A majority of the children in my class would not engage with the cards in the kit. It is JUST manageable in a class routine to do an online self-reflection. There is a lot of set-up explaining with the kit and my class would need a lot of one one-on-one support.”

Please provide 2+ examples of student voice on the kit's impact on them I liked talking and thinking about what makes me me. It was interesting to look at the portraits and make guesses about who they were just based on what they looked like.

Which kit components were the most impactful and why? The initial resources Digital NZ Portraits, Unconscious bias discussions were really a really powerful start. We got great discussions, writing, and reflection from this.

What is the legacy this kit will leave behind on your learners? Their new knowledge of unconscious bias. The peanut butter/jam video was really thought-provoking.

In what ways has this kit helped develop student confidence Students being able to be themselves and appreciate their differences, while respecting the differences of others.

“This kit fit in really nicely with our inquiry into Discrimination and fit in with our school values of respect and resilience. We found it a little too time-intensive which was more challenging because we did it in Term 4 (such a busy term!) We appreciated the inclusion of the NZ Digital Portraits because it made it more relevant for our kids and our move towards a localised curriculum. We got some rich discussions from these portraits! The other videos/resources were really great too, but in an ideal world if these could be NZ-based too it makes it much more powerful for our students.”

“I had hoped the discs to show where students were feeling would work but that part of the kit was not well received by my students. The conversation cards generated some excellent discussions. Overall I appreciated having the kit and I am keen to try out the discs again next year as I have seen similar systems working well in other schools. It allows you to connect with those who are not feeling happy even if you are not solving the problem just reminding them you care is sometimes all they need.”

Please provide 2+ examples of student voice on the kit's impact on them I really liked working through the booklet and being able to write things down. It was nice that we didn't always have to share what we wrote - it was more for us and a safe place. (student 1). It was cool doing the circle of influence activity at home. Dad also enjoyed working on it with me. (student 2).

Which kit components were the most impactful and why? The booklet - learners loved making this their own, taking it to and from school, and sharing with their families.

What is the legacy this kit will leave behind on your learners? This kit really helped to facilitate conversations about identity and Diversity. It also supported with developing a positive class culture with Intermediate school learners.

In what ways has this kit helped develop student confidence Through conversation, education in a language they understand, connection with peers and family members and reflection.

“My Self Confidence kit has been a great tool to use with Year 7 learners towards the end of the year. It has supported some deep conversations, had connection to home and allowed learners to have a better understanding of themselves. I highly rate this resource.”

Please provide 2+ examples of student voice on the kit's impact on them "I never really thought about helping others boost their confidence when I was in a good space, but this has taught me how to do this in a way I can actually do it" "I never really thought my dad thought I'd be anything, like he never really seemed to talk me up or anything so I assumed he just thought I'd fail or do nothing. But now I know he's actually low key backing me to be whatever I want."

Which kit components were the most impactful and why? Daily check in with the charge station. I know my kids pretty well, but it's always the quiet one's that are hard to pick up on their mental state. The charge station helped with this big time!!

What is the legacy this kit will leave behind on your learners? That the people they love truly do support them through everything - even on the days where they make mistakes. Also, the things people remember about us as we grow aren't the ways in which we looked cool, or bought the latest things, but how we treated each other.

“I used the DOVE Self Confidence with my year 8s in term 4. It worked alongside our Navigating the Journey lessons perfectly. Students got to read their letters from home at what felt like the most appropriate time of the term when things were getting a bit low for them and the daunting realisation of High School hit them. It was so amazing to see their faces light up and a few tears shed. Students were given practical ways in which to boost themselves up as well as strategies to help those around them. They were done in subtle ways but had a big impact. Getting them to connect with the people they loved was important too - and identifying the qualities within those people that they value themselves bought them closer to that person. Overall, a fantastic unit that I can re-create next year!!”
