Was there a particular component that struck a chord with your class?
The daily check ins - students really liked to have a quiet and private chance to let me know if something challenging was going on for them. The students quickly took charge of prepping this each morning and checking in with anyone who had forgotten to put their token in the box!
Have you noticed change in your students confidence in the classroom?
How did the kit improve self awareness with your students?
Building on self awareness
How has this the kit influenced the way in which students speak to each other?
In some ways. I was unable to complete the media statements part of the kit. I did notice the students being more aware of how to respond to one another if they could see a classmate was behaving in a way that was unusual for them.
Were you surprised at the role media plays in the wellbeing of your students?
Were you / your students surprised by the responses to your statistical inquiry?
No
Which response stood out most?
We did not complete the statistical inquiry section of the kit unfortunately, due to time and other school commitments.
How impactful were the Dove Self Esteem project videos for students?
Have your students continued to independently use the Daily Check In / Rise & Shine wall?
Yes
What is the legacy this kit will leave behind on your learners?
To think about what sits behind their responses to different situations; think before they respond. The trusted adult 'letters' were also a special standout for the students, as they loved to read the caring thoughts their loved ones shared.
