Self-awareness and sense of identity
Exploring self-awareness and sense of identity is a chance for courageous and supportive conversations about strengths, difficulties, preferences, values, lived experiences, ambitions and more. You can create a safe environment where you co-learn with students, affirm cultural heritages and where students practise advocating for their needs. Having a sense of who they are, in the context of culture and community, may help students see how they matter and can contribute to the world around them.
Assertive communication
When students can stand up for themselves, while still respecting the views of others, they grow in confidence and earn the respect of others. This skill can help with relationships, managing conflicts, and reducing stress.
Knowing oneself
Students can learn to identify aspects of their personalities and perspectives and to share these with their classmates. This can help students to develop a sense of self-awareness and identity.
Mattering
Practices to support a students' sense of mattering can enhance their self-confidence, self-esteem, and their belief that they can have a positive impact on others and their world around them.
