@kaneshamurray_ You should check out @hey_sigmund too! Some great resources and techniques for resilience and anxiety!

Love this idea of developing positive anchors as a calm down technique in the classroom & to help strengthen self regulation and resilience in our students! 3 things that are important when creating an Anchor: 1. Intensity 2. Repetition 3. Uniqueness #SDG3 #educ4750 #uonteach

@kaneshamurray_ What a great book! Thanks for sharing!

Would love to get my hands on a copy of this book to use as a resource in a Stage 3 unit of work looking at health and well-being of youth before, during and after lockdown! How did you conquer quarantine? Or at times did it feel like it conquered you? #uonteach #Educ4750 #SDG3

Thanks @kaneshamurray_ for sharing this! At the end of our degree I think it’s so important to stop and reflect on our own self-care so we can be better for our students! #UoNTeach #Wellbeing #SDG3

@kaneshamurray_ @YouTube Well-being to me means taking time for myself to be present and understand so I can pass that onto others!!! How about you?

What Does Wellbeing Mean To You? | Nuffield Health youtu.be/oSIWo5nxF2A via @YouTube I think this is a great resource to introduce the term 'wellbeing' to Stage 3 students, and a great question to ask students! What does wellbeing mean to you? #uonteach #EDUC4750 #SDG3

@kaneshamurray_ @Miss_Thompson22 @Smiling_Mind is such a great resource! Will have it incorporated throughout my unit! Check out @MindShiftKQED too!

Thank you for sharing @Miss_Thompson22! Just watched the teacher and student reviews on YouTube and #smilingminds sounds like an awesome program to introduce as a part of a daily routine in my #sgd3 unit of work with many benefits for both teachers & students! #uonteach #Educ4750

This was so amazing to read! Completely changes your perspective about what we do with our kids!! #UoNTeach #Wellbeing #SDG3 #Mindset

I like the idea of a revision block - giving students a chance to respond to feedback - is this something you would do? #UoNTeach #Wellbeing #sdg3

Everyday Resilience - Michelle Mitchell. Plenty of child friendly books and resources to help promote resilience and positive mental health. michellemitchell.org #UoNTeach #SDG3 #Wellbeing

@Cait76128957 Thank you @Cait76128957 - I will use this in my unit!

@KatFromOz Mindfulness is a great thing to incorporate into daily activities. Check out MindYeti, it provides videos for kids and adults that focus on mindfulness. I have found it really useful in the classroom for all stages. youtube.com/playlist?list=…

I will be incorporating daily #mindfulness activities into my unit plan. Whether it is through journaling, #kindness to others or meditation - it helps build our #resilience and allow our wellbeing to flourish 🌻 #UoNTeach

@Cait76128957 I think I would like to foster "voice". To have my students know they are heard and that their presence is worthy and wanted.

Wellbeing can be developed through a number of influences and experiences, these can include but are not limited to choice, achievement, relationships, enjoyment, personal growth, health and safety. What factors will you foster within your classroom and why? #UoNTeach #SDG3

@Cait76128957 I would use this as a reflective task and have students reflect on their own life and what support they have in their current school.

What a great lesson starter. youtube.com/watch?v=at2gAj… This video is able to show the varying perspectives of what education looks like around the world. As a teacher, how would you use this video in your classroom? Explore the location? Students? Activities? #UoNTeach #Educ4750

@Cait76128957 I would hope that through awareness comes change. Constant awareness though. Not just drips and draps. An awareness revolution!

p4hglobal.org/p4h-blog/2019/… Do you think it is hard to improve education in developing countries? The numbers of uneducated students & poor education are astronomically low, how can these numbers be brought to the world average. More awareness and assistance from society? #UoNTeach

@Cait76128957 @UNICEF Providing a space where they are trusted, secure and can be themselves in without fear of judgement would be a good start ❤️

Such a good point made by @UNICEF. School is a safe space for children, especially in countries surrounded by unexplainable abuse and violence. How can you make your classroom a safe space for students? #UoNTeach #Educ4750 #SDG3

@Cait76128957 When students have the confidence to speak up and be heard, their wellbeing and sense of sense can sky rocket. Even teachers speaking up and praising students is empowering and creates a domino effect!

Thanks for sharing this perspective Julia, I believe empowering students to believe in themselves, speak up about issues they are passionate about and take action when they are ready is the first step. As teacher's, we support student's in their thoughts and ideas every day.

@Cait76128957 My students will be creating kindness affirmation cards and giving these to a local aged care facility. Some people in our community need a little extra love every now and then.

As part of achieving mental wellbeing, we can connect with others and give to others. This is what students will be doing with my unit. Connecting with organisatons and giving essential access to human needs. What are some other ideas that students could do? #UoNTeach #Educ4750

@Cait76128957 I have seen the same, yet it is still falling short. I think our curriculum is just too busy with so much focus on English and Maths! Lets start a revolution together and change the current mindsets!

Through my research, I have found articles with the following titles: "Why Education Matters to Health", "Education for Health and Wellbeing", "How Education Can Impact Wellbeing". This highlights that education must be significant to our health and wellbeing. #SDG3 #UoNTeach

@Cait76128957 Thanks for sharing this, what a great book. Have you seen Hey Warrior by Karen Young @hey_sigmund? I love how it frames awareness of anxiety and what strategies kids can use.

Let's take a closer look. Book: What's Going on Inside My Head? by Molly Potter and Sarah Jennings. This book is a great conversation starter for positive mental health and wellbeing. Could you use this book in your unit of work or classroom? #SDG3 #UoNTeach #Educ4750

@Cait76128957 Positive body image in a child's life is so important @Cait76128957. @BeYouPrimary has some really great resources around body image and sadly some alarming facts!

Let's take a closer look. Book: Love Your Body by Jessica Sanders. This book is AMAZING. Body image & feelings about one's self are one of the most important factors for good health & wellbeing. This book provides strategies & resources. Do you want to see more pages? #UoNTeach

@ReardonBrittany @KobeHar48482214 @Oliviacowieuon1 @darcielarkin @Megan48699918 I really like this idea to use during the activity but also as a form of peer assessment :)

I will be using Debono's #6thinkinghats in my unit of work to enhance creative and collaborative thinking between students. #Educ4750 students, what teaching/thinking tools are you thinking of using in your units? #SDG3 #UoNTeach
