TOD Wellbeing Focus January 2018

BUILDING RESILIENCE AND WELLBEING  
New Zealand Institute of Wellbeing and Resilient
Lucy Hone and Denise Quinlan


Unwanted and unexpected change is often forced upon us.  We cannot control our life circumstances, we can control our response.
What determines happiness?   
Genetics and actions/thoughts are more significant than external circumstances.  
Focusing on what you can change and influence.
Important to be able to show your vulnerability, acknowledge it and share with your colleagues/friends/family.
Positive Psychology is about keeping people on the positive side of wellbeing.  Rather than deficit thinking.
POSITIVE EDUCATION is about putting wellbeing at the very heart of the school.
The Science of Wellbeing with Best Practice teaching.
Pastoral Care - reactionary, targeted, deficit-based.
vs
Positive Education - preventative, universal (whole community), strengths-based
Regulation of Emotions
Growth Mindsets
Character Ed

Positive Emotions
Mindfulness - Pause, Smile, Breathe
Goal planning - will power and way power  (the why and the how) Shane Lopez

What will be our framework to hang our work on?  
PERMA, Five ways to wellbeing, Whare tapawha model.
Moments of flow are important.  What is it that gives you flow?   Moments where you are completely present, focused and completely swept up in the moment of what you are doing.

WELLBEING is simply feeling good and functioning well.
(Huppert and So, 2009, University of Cambridge)

How can we promote wellbeing in school communities?
Have started doing mindfulness and growth mindset work in 2017.
Have done some work in character education and looking and the strengths of children.

CHARACTER STRENGTHS
Understanding, noticing and using character strengths will help you flourish.

www.viacharacter.org - for identifying character strengths. Not fixed and are contextualised based on what is going on.

My top 5 from today's paper survey:
Love, Love of Learning, Hope, Appreciation of Beauty and Excellence, Kindness.
(also social intelligence)

What is right with you?
Who are you at your best?
When do you feel the most you?
How can you feel the most you most often?

Need to know them and find ways to use them. Things we do well, do often, do with energy.

Mana Enhancement Project - PD led by Steve and James

Mana Enhancement Model A tool for Positive Behaviour Management Uses narrative and stories of Māori creation to understand the student's mana and to feed into the strengths of students.   Maui is a key figure.  Mana is central in the model. See more information below about Mana Enhancement from Steve's slideshow Papatuanuku (earth mother) - what nurtures, calms, sustains us When asking the children about the aspects of papatuanuku, listen without judgement. Ranginui (sky father) - how we respond to life's challenges My reflections - This is a useful model to help students better understand their own emotions and how to self regulate.  How could this be part of our wellbeing model and be utilised within our existing pastoral care model.    One on one mentoring with key students - using the model to support students with their individual behaviour goals. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1o-aC1IideJtMCVXTbokYBtMfCQR3pbbhWhpTOpWzhb0...
