There are no specific outcomes related to this KLA. However, the activities and sessions opposite would be useful in the classroom.

Use a 'mind dump' at the start of a lesson (especially after a break). Ask students to record on a piece of paper anything that is 'on their mind'. Adding their name is optional. They fold it up and either give it to the teacher or throw it in the bin.

Overarching Learning Outcomes

12 Students are self-motivated and confident in their approach to learning and are able to work individually and collaboratively.

13 Students recognise that everyone has the right to feel valued and be safe, and, in this regard, understand their rights and obligations and behave responsibly.

Use the activities in Enhancing Resilience 1 and Enhancing Resilience 2 in staff professional development sessions as energisers, mixers and starting points for discussion about health and wellbeing.
