Please provide 2+ examples of student voice on the kit's impact on them One student said she felt it was hard to answer questions honestly in the booklet because it felt weird to be so vulnerable without knowing what was going to happen with the information she was giving about herself. Another said that he tried to be honest, but felt unsure about his answers when filling out the battery pages because he felt like his battery was full but scored low.

Which kit components were the most impactful and why? The booklet was the most helpful because it provided activities which the kids could relate to.

What is the legacy this kit will leave behind on your learners? Hopefully students will focus more on the positives in their life and about their life rather than the negatives.

In what ways has this kit helped develop student confidence I don't think it has developed students' confidence, but rather has been a tool to help guide how they can go about discovering their self worth.

How has this kit helped develop student resilience? It has been a tool to help give advice on ways they can go about managing their emotions and responses to situations. I think this is very dependent on how well a student can mange themselves to even be aware of how they need to be resilient.

What impact has this kit had on your classroom community? It has begun to unlock honesty about themselves. It's so easy for students to get sucked up in what their friends think, say and do, that their own thoughts and feelings are side lined.

What impact has this kit had on your classroom community? The charging station was a good idea to help with charging their own batteries when they needed to, and even better when they helped charge other's batteries too. It was hard to use the red cards because even though students filled out the sheets, when I talked to them about it privately, they said they didn't want or need anything.

“It was an engaging tool to help begin the journey of unlocking self confidence. I think their needs to be a lot more to continue this journey.”

Please provide 2+ examples of student voice on the kit's impact on them "I don't like sharing my feelings and I won't talk about them but with the cards I can express them" "The more I help boost others, the more they are willing to help me when I need a boost"

Which kit components were the most impactful and why? We found the daily check in/charging station to be the most beneficial. Students became more aware of their energy levels and emotions and how this had an impact on their learning and those around them. They were self motivated and reflective of the quotes and messages from the charging station. The red cards were a great tool for students who find it hard to articulate struggles they face.

What is the legacy this kit will leave behind on your learners? Awareness of their own and others energy and how we can be understanding and empathetic towards our own and others needs.

In what ways has this kit helped develop student confidence Students were confident and comfortable sharing with class mates. Everyone felt safe to express opinions and share experiences.

“Such a great kit. Have used previously in my year 5/6 class and found it to be super beneficial for my year 7/8's. They have become more self aware and have learned a lot about themselves and the influence of peers, family and trusted adults around them. Some great conversations about health and wellbeing were had throughout the term. The kids enjoyed reading their forms filled out by an adult of their choice.”

Please provide 2+ examples of student voice on the kit's impact on them I think these activities were fun and pretty cool, I liked watching the videos of people being painted off descriptions. I liked having my own book and being able to go through all the activities, especially filling in all the details about me and the way my teacher describes me.

Which kit components were the most impactful and why? The important adult in my life activity, it helped my kids recognise how the adults in their lives view them as I believe they were quite critical about themselves in this respect and it helped improve their self esteem by looking at themselves through someone else's eyes.

What is the legacy this kit will leave behind on your learners? It has been significant in improving relationships between them and their adults, it has helped them be more considerate and forgiving of themselves and others.

In what ways has this kit helped develop student confidence It has helped them recognise that the way they view themselves is not they way everyone else views them, and that sometimes we are too hard on ourselves.

How has this kit helped develop student resilience? The check in cards and ways to overcome if you are in a red and yellow zone has been very cool, Getting the kids to recognise that you cannot just stay in a red or yellow zone, you need to take proactive steps to be resilient.

What impact has this kit had on your classroom community? It has helped foster connections and improve resilience, has developed pathways for children to recognise their moods and steps to improve their mood. The token system has been a fun activity for kids to do everyday to check in with themselves.

“I found this kit very helpful in my classroom, especially in the first half of the year in building confidence and connections amoingst my kids. Even though the kit was aimed at self confidence it also helped my kids build connections with each other through recognising that they are not alone in the way they feel about themselves or other people.”

Please provide 2+ examples of student voice on the kit's impact on them I liked using the tokens. In the morning when we got to school we would put them in the box where we thought we were that day. I liked having to think about where i should put mine. I liked the art we did. We did self portraits and we had to write our random thoughts around them.

Which kit components were the most impactful and why? My tamariki enjoyed working through the booklets. It was good to have something to send home (booklets, caring adult letters) and get whānau involved also.

What is the legacy this kit will leave behind on your learners? Being able to think about the way they see all aspects of themselves - their emotions, strengths, challenges, likes, dislikes. And who are the people to go to when they need support.

In what ways has this kit helped develop student confidence Understanding that it's easy for us to see the negatives about ourselves but others see positives that we don't even think about. My class loved the video with the forensic artist who drew people from their self descriptions and then descriptions from others. This video clip made this easy for them to understand and we did it as a class activity where they described themself to a buddy who drew a portrait from the description.

Please provide 2+ examples of student voice on the kit's impact on them The Students enjoyed reading the cards and trying to follow the examples. They liked being able to share, without having to say it out loud.

Which kit components were the most impactful and why? The buttons with their name on them, it gave them the power to name how they were feeling.

What is the legacy this kit will leave behind on your learners? They have come into class and requested their buttons, so they could put it into the slot box. I will continue to use this in Term 4, as they have asked to do this. It is satisfying to see them read the cards, or to see how valued they feel when I follow up with them. This has led to students being referred to the counselor, something that may have been missed without this resource. I really love it.

In what ways has this kit helped develop student confidence The ability to name their feelings and to know it is OK to have goid/ok/bad time is great. Being able to own how they are feeling and being able to ask for help quietly has really led to more confidence in sharing what is happening in their lives

What impact has this kit had on your classroom community? Feelings. At the start some of the boys were a bit silly about people putting buttons in the red, but after discussions and doing the activities they are now much more respectful and empathetic to others having a bad day.

“This kit really opened the doors of communication with my Year 7/8 Students. In a High School when you only have your students a few times a day, they were able to let me know how they were getting on. I could follow up with those who were in distress. I also kept a record of what students answered so I could see if there was a change in the pattern of their answers.”
