Helping college staff build student resilience
Fabulous day yesterday delivering an all staff Building Personal Resilience Inset event at Richard Taunton Sixth Form College. What a great place. Some top ideas working groups came up with as to how they could apply some of the learning. Here’s a few:
- NO negative reflections allowed – when spotted challenged to re-frame either as a positive or a learning point
- Using the paper plate exercise to increase student confidence and sense of belonging
- Sharing the Nik Vujicic video with students
- When students receive mock results encouraging them to learn from the process – not beat themselves up if poor results acheived
- Encouraging students to recognise choice and that THOUGHTS ARE NOT FACTS!
GOOD LUCK ALL OF YOU!
