Term Goal Setting, study and wellbeing techniques, focus students on challenging their best selves. Content revised each year.

WHY: by writing down the tasks that you need to do in order of importance in this planner, and then doing them, you will feel in control and avoid anxious thoughts. This is called prioritising. HOW: use the Musts and Options (page 128) or Thinking Tool on the website to list what you do and when you do them. You have no choice with Musts, such as family responsibilities and school. You have choice with Options, such as social media and socialising.

TOTAL ENGAGEMENT

Wellbeing Reality: through mindfully and fully engaging with a challenge, which really stretches your abilities, you may experience a state called flow. Flow often causes you to lose your sense of time, be totally immersed in the challenge, feel that you are at your best and experience feelings of fulfillment. Elite performers in any field are usually in a state of flow. The powerful brain chemical, dopamine, is released into your bloodstream, enabling you to feel a natural high. For most people it is an enjoyable state to be in.

Wellbeing Reality: by mindfully engaging yourself in activities, you give yourself opportunities to experience flow, where you are totally connected to what you are doing and lose track of time. You need clear written goals, immediate feedback on your efforts and a challenge which matches or slightly stretches your skills.

Wellbeing @ School Many people are now choosing electronic leisure activities indoors, rather than going outside to exercise with nature in sunlight and fresh air.

Acknowledgement: ACARA 7-8 HPE

What is a new skill I learnt?

5 SATURDAY 6 SUNDAY

DO: read and discuss the following questions and ask students to journal their thoughts in their planners. When is a time you did all of the Big Five well and how did you feel? Who could you seek help from should you be having problems with any of the Big Five? Which resilience skill could help you? Read and discuss Wellbeing@School with your class and ask them to journal in their planners what they think the effects to people’s mental and physical wellbeing could be by not getting outside to exercise in sunlight and fresh air. Success Criteria: students will be able to: Explain – why regularly exercising outdoors will benefit their mental and physical wellbeing. Do – aim to exercise outdoors for an hour every day.

HOW: choose to create trusting and grateful relationships with each of your teachers to generate powerful positive emotions for learning. Use the 3F’s process of Focus, Feedback, Fix It with your teachers to be in a continuous cycle of good, better, best. Avoid the childish trap of blaming them for your own lack of effort and purpose, by thinking they don’t like you.

Acknowledgement: Hassed & Rath

WHY: for students to learn to be aware of when others are genuinely interested in what they are saying and also vice versa. DO: when is a time you applied yourself diligently with a teacher to master what you were learning?

Success Criteria: students will be able to: Explain – what body language they would use to show they were interested in what someone was telling them. Do – role play what they would act like and look like What good choices did I make? when listening actively. Helen Keller once shared, “alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” What three teams have you been part of that achieved special things because you worked cooperatively together?

MISSING OUT ON NOTHING

Fabulous First Five Minutes – ask students to journal about something they find awesome about their school. WHY: is for students to think of proactive things that they can do and say to develop the quality of their relationships with each of their teachers and to show gratitude for their efforts. HOW: Read Learning Mastery with your class. Explain that the number one influence on them achieving their goals, and thus success in their studies, is the quality of their relationships with their teachers. Share that the more that they can use interested, respectful and cooperative body language when in class, the more that their and their teachers’ mirror neurons will work together to create caring and valued relationships. Add that feelings of connectedness will in turn release serotonin and oxytocin to make their classes really enjoyable places to be. Share that they are the ones who will reap the rich benefits from taking the initiative to show gratitude for their teachers’ efforts. DO: Read and discuss the following questions and ask your students to journal their thoughts about them in their planners. When is a time you applied yourself diligently with a teacher to master what you were learning? What is something that you could do to enhance your relationship with each of your teachers? What are the possible consequences for those who choose to take responsibility for their schooling by nurturing relationships with their teachers and then those who continually blame their teachers for their own shortcomings? What resilience skill could help you with Learning Mastery (see pages 6&7)? Read and discuss Teamwork Week and download the teamwork sheet from the website for your class to jot down things that they can do to show teamwork during this week. Success Criteria: students will be able to: Explain – how enhancing their relationships with each of their teachers will improve their learning outcomes. Do – openly show gratitude to their teachers in and out of class.

WHY: by understanding that FOMO is an addiction which can result in low moods and anxiety, you will be more likely to avoid being mesmerised by social media.

HOW: reflect on each of your goals and write down how social media is going to contribute to you achieving them. Then, write down any important or valuable information you have learned from social media over the last week. It is highly likely that you didn’t write anything down. By turning off social media you are missing out on nothing meaningful. DO: when is a time you have forgotten your phone and had a great time?

25 WEDNESDAY

How is social media actually social?

Which resilience skill could help you to do this well? (pages 6-7)

PRIORITIES/DUE DATES 7 MONDAY

DO: when is a time that you showed that you believed in yourself?

HOW: Read Self-Belief with your class. Explain that for most people, bad is stronger than good, and that they can contest this negative mind chatter by looking for good things in themselves. Share that every single person on the planet is good at something, and being prepared to try a variety of different activities will enable them to identify their own talents.

Success Criteria: students will be able to: Explain – what negative self-talk is and how they can contest it. Do – describe their best selves to show their self-belief. Acknowledgement: Bandura & Rotter

HOW: all learning is a process of applying yourself to deliberately practise new skills and using more intelligent approaches, such as Habits of Mind and Thinking Tools. Goals are your anchors to keep your mind on the job and to Acknowledgement: Costa & Kellick work hard.

WHY: by accepting that your mind is in charge of what you choose to do, you will listen to what it says is the sensible and respectful thing to do.

HOW: before you are about to do something, practise asking yourself, “will what I’m about to do be fair, safe and legal for all involved and create positive outcomes?” At times, this will mean using your strengths to find the courage to say no to your friends when commencing risk taking activities which could result in serious mental and physical outcomes.

WHY: for students to learn how to use their strengths to ignore “little now” instant pleasures to focus on “big later” effort achievements.

HOW: Read Grateful for Effort with your class. Explain that the most powerful human feelings of fulfilment come from sustaining a long term effort to achieve something they are passionate about.

MEANING + PURPOSE

SENSIBLE AND RESPECTFUL

Fabulous First Five Minutes – ask students to think about and write down thoughts that are holding them back from achieving what they want to do.

WHY: by understanding that there is often an over emphasis on achievement and an under emphasis on effort, you will be in a position to focus on what really matters, paying attention, seeking feedback and fixing mistakes.

WHY: for students to use their strengths to adopt positive mindsets that while they might not be perfect, they are all individuals who are well worth believing in and valuing.

14 SATURDAY 15 SUNDAY

POSITIVE EMOTIONS + GRATITUDE

Fabulous First Five Minutes – ask students to journal about a time when they showed caution and prudence. WHY: is for students to self-assess on how sensibly, ethically and respectfully they are living their lives, and any adjustments that they can make. HOW: Read Sensible and Respectful with your class. Explain that when they are not tuned into the present and running on autopilot, these are times that when they run the risk of doing or saying something that they may regret later. Share that a way to switch off autopilot and get back in the moment, is to be self-determined to ask themselves often, “will what I’m about to do be fair, safe and legal for all involved and create positive outcomes?” Add that this is a form of positive self-talk will assist them to listen to what their minds tell them is the right thing for them to do. Share that this may also mean finding the courage to stand alone and say no to their friends. DO: Read and discuss the following questions and ask your students to journal their thoughts about them in their planners. When is a time you listened to what your mind said was right for you to do? What social activities do you need to listen to your mind to act sensibly and respectfully? What are the possible consequences for those who choose to live their lives doing the right thing and doing the thing right and then those who choose not to? What resilience skill could help you with Sensible and Respectful (see pages 6&7)? Look at the Mindful Colouring In and share with your class that because the activity has repetition, pattern and self-control that it will calm and relax them. Ask them to do it for five minutes whenever they feel a little tense or hyped up. Success Criteria: students will be able to: Explain – what are the right things for them to do to be sensible and respectful. Do – start asking themselves those questions before they do risky things.

Study Tip

PRIORITIES/DUE DATES 14 MONDAY

MINDFULLY RESILIENT

Fabulous First Five Minutes – ask students to think about and write down a group in which they feel a sense of belonging and acceptance.

WHY: by developing the skills of resilience in yourself, you will be able to respond well to challenges and setbacks that you have in your life. A lesson about these skills is on pgs 6-7. HOW: to develop skills to become habits that you do easily and capably requires you to deliberately practise them often. This practice includes: goal setting, doing wellbeing fitness challenges and strength’s boosters for strengths, doing mindfulness and breathing exercises, using Habits of Mind and thinking tools and being kind.

WHY: for students to learn what they can do themselves to practise the resilience skills to develop each of them as natural habits.

15 TUESDAY

Acknowledgement: Rievich & Shatte

HOW: Read Mindfully Resilient with your class.

CORNELL NOTES PROCESS

Fabulous First Five Minutes – ask students to think about and write down whether they use technology sensibly or whether they are techno slaves. WHY: by using the more intelligent Cornell Process when taking notes in class, you will use both sides of your brain to learn and comprehend more effectively (see page 141).

HOW: rule up your page the Cornell way. In the Notes section, use abbreviations and your own words for the main points and don’t write sentences. In the Cues and Questions section, relate the learning to what you already know by drawing flowcharts, diagrams and write down any questions you have. After class and at home, answer your questions.

WHY: for students to learn how to prioritise, plan and organise what they need to do by writing them down in their planners. 17 TUESDAY

Acknowledgement: Wade & Pauk

DO: what could be a benefit to your understanding by using this process?

HOW: Read Time Understandings with your class. Explain that developing prioritising habits which enable them to use their time effectively, is very much reliant on using their planners well. Share that their creating visuals of what they need to do and when they need to do them is a powerful keystone habit to develop. Doing this will in turn create other good organisational habits. 18 WEDNESDAY

Ask them to do it for five minutes whenever they feel a little tense or hyped up. Success Criteria: students will be able to: Explain – how using their planner to write down what they need to do and when, will build effective time habits in them.

WHY: by being passionate about something you want to achieve and having grit to drive yourself to overcome obstacles along the way, you will be in a good position to accomplish your goals.

HOW: harnessing grit and passion together requires you to selfregulate the intensity of your emotions to stay focused. You need a high level of social connectedness to work cooperatively and collaboratively with others. It takes courage to show grit because it means you don’t give in to short term pleasures and use your strengths to overcome challenges.

Fabulous First Five Minutes – ask students to journal about someone who is very successful, but at the same time, quite humble. WHY: is for students to practise using the Cornel Notes Process to enhance their brain functioning and learning outcomes. HOW: Read Cornel Notes Process with your class. Explain that many students only use the dominant side of their brains when taking notes from their teachers in class, thus reducing the efficiency of how well they are storing the learnt material in their brains for retrieval later. Share that the structure of how the page is ruled up and the prompting questions gets their whole brain involved in the process. Add that they can use the interactive Thinking Tools from the website to further improve the way information is stored, such as Connect, Extend, Challenge, Five Es of Learning, Know, What, How, Learnt, Learning Jigsaw and Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats. DO: Read and discuss the following questions and ask your students to journal their thoughts about them in their planners. What could be a benefit to your understanding by using this process? What is another Thinking Tool from the website you could use to relate the learning to what you already know? What are the possible consequences for those who accept that to store information effectively in their brains that they need to use strategies such as Cornel Process and those who keep doing what they have always done? What resilience skill could help you with Cornel Notes Process (see pages 6&7)? Read and discuss Mindfulness Time, ask your students to try some activities from these websites and journal their thoughts about them in their planners. Success Criteria: students will be able to: Explain – how the Cornel Notes Process uses both sides of their brains to develop their memory and enhance their understanding. Do – visit the website to explore a number of Thinking Tools that they will start using.

How do you think these choices could affect their physical and mental wellbeing?

HOW: people know you are interested in listening to them when you make eye contact, smile, don’t interrupt and ask Tell Me More when they begin to run out of words. They will feel that you think they matter and experience the natural highs of serotonin and oxytocin. ACR is the only relationship building type of listening.

HOW: Read Big Five Check In with your class. Explain that there are no shortcuts to maintaining good health and that each of the Big Five are equally important. To keep their fingers on the pulse, suggest they fill in the daily five activities and then at the end of the week do the Big Five Check In by colouring in how well they did for each one.

Respectful Relationships

HOW: your kindness shows them that you care, which releases oxytocin into their systems, while adding a sense of meaning and purpose to your life. Their warm responses indicate that they value you, which releases serotonin into your system to grow your wellbeing. But it takes courage to give of yourself to others because they may not accept your kindness. When this happens open your heart anyway; your wellbeing will benefit.

WELLBEING BUILDER

Self-talk is talking to yourself inside your head and it can be positive, negative or about processes to follow. Positive selftalk is an effective pathway to cope and is often called green light thinking, because it encourages you to lift your efforts to believe in the power of yet; which is a true growth orientated mindset.

POSITIVE EMOTION@SCHOOL

THIS WEEK

Being Self-Determined

Monday | What is a proud achievement? ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

WHY: by understanding that being self-determined enables you to feel that you have control over the choices you have in your life at school, you will be likely to choose to be self-determined.

................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

HOW: to be self-determined at school, three key psychological needs must be met. Competence: the need to feel that you can learn and master different skills in your roles at school. Connection: the need to feel that you belong and matter to others in your school. Autonomy: the need to feel in control of your choices at school and achieving your goals for school. When you experience these three things you are motivated from within (intrinsically) to enjoy and focus on becoming your best self at school.

ATTITUDES OF SCHOOL Attitude of Trust: showing that you have faith in other people at school to do what they say they will do, and thanking them when they do so. Trust is the glue which enables feelings in our relationship being connected, protected and respected. When is a time/s at school you felt you had this attitude?

Wellbeing Learning Intention: by knowing that your thoughts and experiences cause your brain to never stop changing, you will be able to grow your brain’s abilities in areas and skills you wish to develop. This is called neuroplasticity.

Make your plastic brain work to become your best possible self. Acknowledgement: Pascual-Leone & Dweck

Respectful Relationships

Health + strengths MIND - BODY CONNECTION Wellbeing Learning Intention: by understanding and accepting the strong connections between your mind and body, you will be more likely to treat each with respect. The obvious ones around exercise, nutrition and sleep are inescapable, yet people ignore these and keep thinking, it won’t happen to me, but guess what, illness strikes. The very best investment that you can make for your future, is ensuring that your mind-body connections are healthy. When you do this, your immune system and optimistic mindset will enable you to shine brightly.

Monday

YEAR 11 WELLBEING JOURNAL

WHY: by understanding that you grow your brain’s abilities by practising harder new approaches, you will feel courageous through having a growth mindset.

Inspiring Me as a Young Adult and as a Senior Student.

Tuesday

HOW: like resilience, you are not born with a growth mindset. It is developed through your willingness to choose to put in the effort to deliberately practise what you learn, seek feedback on your mistakes and then fix them by learning more intelligent approaches. Practising more difficult tasks means that you will need to accept getting about 30% wrong. Acknowledgement: Dweck & Ericsson

Wednesday

DO: when is a time you challenged yourself to deliberately practise more difficult tasks? .................................................................................................................................................................................

Developing a sense of autonomy, competence and connectedness to be self-determined and selfmotivated.

When is a time you failed at something and then learned new ways to achieve it? .................................................................................................................................................................................

Thursday

What is something in which you have a strong growth mindset to stretch yourself to improve? ................................................................................................................................................................................. Character Strength – how could judgement help you with Growth Mindset?

TUESDAY

Wellbeing @ School To build your selfawareness draw an outline of your body and on it write down the warning signs you feel on different parts when you are becoming stressed, anxious or angry?

HOW: a sense of purpose enables you to believe that the many little things you do every day add up to make a positive difference. Prioritising the wellbeing of others as a key purpose in your life, is one of the most effective ways to become the person you want to become. Set your compass.

Using their strengths to create a self-image of what they stand for and how to act, look, sound and feel like as young global citizens.

Your mindset is your belief about how much or how little you think you can grow your abilities through making the effort to deliberately learn and practise new, more difficult and intelligent things. The two mindset extremes are fixed, your abilities can’t change, and through growth, you can develop your abilities.

Fixed Mindsets – about proving

Growth Mindsets – about improving

• you believe that learning and practising new things won’t change your brain’s abilities; you avoid challenges.

• you believe that learning and practising new things will grow your brain’s abilities; you welcome challenges.

• brittle thinking by making the choice to not try things. • your focus is on your performance to prove yourself.

• resilient thinking by choosing to stretch yourself. • your focus is the process to improve yourself.

• you think, hard work + effort = lack of ability.

• you think, hard work + effort = personal and academic growth.

What is one thing you could start doing to move yourself towards growth mindsets?

What is one thing you could start doing to adopt even more growth orientated mindsets?

Performance Goals

Process Goals

• For example, my goal is to do questions which I know I can do.

• For example, my goal is to stretch myself by tackling harder questions.

• Avoid setting performance goals at the beginning of each term.

Mindset: your best self as a young person and as a student

10/11/21 12:44 pm

Fabulous First Five Minutes – ask students to write down a time that they were proud to be a member of their family. WHY: for students to understand what affects their mindsets and how process goals can move them towards growth mindsets. HOW: read Mindset with your class. Explain that their mindsets come from the collection of experiences and influences during their lives so far. Share that they can nudge their mindsets towards growth by believing they can grow their brains’ abilities by learning and trying more intelligent approaches. Add that when they choose to set process goals, which are step by step ones, they will be working towards developing their best selves. DO: read and discuss the following questions and ask students to journal their thoughts on this page: Do you believe that learning and practising new things will grow your brain’s abilities? How do you welcome challenges? What do you do to think resiliently to stretch yourself? Why do you think that hard work + effort = personal and academic growth? What is one thing you could start doing to adopt even more growth orientated mindsets? With the class, distinguish between what are performance and process goals, and the mindsets they each represent. Ask students to set a process goal for: exercise and healthy eating, learning and thinking, wellbeing and happiness, family and friends. Success Criteria: students will be able to: Explain – how their mindsets vary between fixed and growth and what they can do to move them positively. Do – suggest what they can take to nudge their mindsets towards growth and set process goals. Acknowledgement: Carol Dweck

LEADERSHIP

It is important to develop good habits in your everyday living, in your learning and in your thinking. To be in a good place as a person and feel in control, it is important to have targets and dreams to aim for. The most important thing to remember is to be totally honest with the person you see in the mirror every morning. Get to know yourself and take care of yourself.

It is often easier to choose quick unhealthy snacks and take-away foods or spend free time watching TV or in front of the computer.

SETTING GOALS AND TARGETS To work out your sense of purpose you need time to think about what you want for your future. There will be things you want to achieve in your life. Goals are what you want to achieve in your: - personal life - career and education - sport and leisure - other interests. To help you achieve your goals and develop your sense of purpose, you need to set targets along the way. Targets give you: - a reason to do the hard things that will help you to succeed and reach your goals - the answers to ‘why am I at school?’

_____________________________________________________________________

PRACTICE It has been proven that deliberate practice creates and then builds faster and stronger brain pathways, especially when learning new and more difficult approaches. Your willingness to practise what you learn every day relies on the two ingredients above, choice and effort. Use them to drive and inspire your determination to become your best possible self.

Sport and leisure

Reflect on how you currently choose to practise for the following using: I make a deliberate effort to practise: five minutes revising every night on what I learnt in class in each of my subjects. smarter note taking to relate what I learnt to what I already know. Thinking Tools, flowcharts, summaries of main points and key words to review my learning. what I learn to new situations and set up problem solving approaches.

Wellbeing Bank: to add to my Relationships and Optimism through using social networking ethically and sensibly. Social networking is a wonderful medium of communication when not used excessively and balanced with face-to-face interactions with others. Unfortunately, this is often not the case with people of your age and the negative impacts on your physical and mental wellbeing can be quite serious. Well over 60% of young people are now reporting feeling unhappy and exhausted by being permanently switched on and are keen to connect with themselves, to watch their own thoughts coming and going, instead of everyone else’s. As mentioned earlier, the overuse of social media is spiraling out of control and responsible for widespread youth sleep deprivation through 24/7 connection; invisible and cowardly bullying; restricted personal and academic growth and obsession with a fear of missing out. Which of these affect you? There are both acceptable and unacceptable ways to use social networking. Describe what you believe both of these could include.

Regular exercise and leisure activities will enable you to experience feel good brain chemicals called endorphins and improve your fitness, flexibility and body tone. Spending time exercising with family and friends will enable you to enjoy uplifting spirals of positive emotions. It also increases your oxygen intake and endurance and reduces tension and anxiety which enhances your sleeping patterns.

è So, is social media really making you happy? There is constant ‘social pressure’ to belong, to be involved and to be part of it 24/7. Research has shown that 60% of people feel exhausted with this permanently ‘switched on’ lifestyle, with some people even taking breaks from social networks and refusing to use them for a period of time.

è Are you always checking your phone? Are you always updating with your friends what you are doing? Social media has changed how we live our lives.

People are reporting that they feel exhausted from their digital interactions and saying it is making them unhappy.

Why do you think people are starting to say it is making them unhappy? What are the benefits of social media?

A thinking trap which many students fall into, is that they get action mixed up with activity. Action is about focusing intently on achieving what you set out to do by putting in your best efforts to make it happen. Activity is about going through the motions, pretending you are trying and letting down the person you see in the mirror every morning.

Actions: What are two things I will start doing to make good choices?

FOR THIS YEAR

1.

ACTIONS

in more intelligent ways using Habits of Mind and Thinking Tools?

5. _______________________________

What are two things I will start doing to adopt a growth mindset to make daily exercise a priority?

Surprise yourself by trying something new.

Reflect on how you currently choose for the following using: I choose to learn: each of my teachers’ style of teaching and expectations of how I participate in class? whether my teachers provide handouts or allow me to record their classes on my phone? how I can learn with my teachers who have to cater for a variety of student strengths, learning styles, multiple intelligences and areas to improve upon?

_________________________________

ACTIONS

Your physical wellbeing relies on you exercising for at least an hour every day. Unfortunately, many people are not making exercise a priority and combined with an unhealthy diet of processed and takeaway foods, are obese and more prone to illness.

The very first choice you make in your life is to choose to choose. Everyone makes both good and not so good choices in what they do, but the main thing is to know the difference and learn from them. As a student, you have plenty of choices that you need to make; it’s about self-awareness.

CHOICE

PERSONAL - for myself

_________________________________

Exercising with friends and family builds relationships and enables all of you to experience positive emotions, which will relieve tension and anxiety.

WELLBEING BUILDER

How Are Choice, Effort and Practice Connected? Being successful at school and enjoying the journey have absolutely nothing to do with chance, luck or how smart you think you are. These only rely on the choices you make, the effort you put in and the deliberate practice you do. Reflect on how you make choices, put in effort and commit to practise what you learn.

What are my top 3 goals?

3. _______________________________

There are many exciting and varied ways for you to have a pulse lifting physical workout, which will release feel good brains chemicals, called endorphins, into your bloodstream.

Junior Choice, Effort and Practice

My Purpose

Write down how you keep healthy.

•

If you are too tired when you go into the exam, you will not do well.

•

If you are still learning information right up to the last few hours before the exam, you will NOT remember all of it.

•

Relaxation is important.

Size: 248mm high x 170mm wide. •

During revision make sure that you have some rest periods. Short breaks are best – set treats for yourself to aim for.

•

Physical activity, such as jogging or dancing, can stimulate your brain into more activity when you are trying to remember all the information.

•

Relaxation exercises, such as yoga, are good for clearing the mind ready for the next study period. WELLBEING WORKBOOK – HIGH SCHOOL169 | 69
