Focus on reflecting more efficiently on past teaching and not dwell on smaller things that can’t be changed.

I have a longer drive to work than what I was used to throughout university. So utilising the drive time to make more important decisions and connections about live would be worthwhile.

# data[].attributes.body
Taking time to slow down and actually express that I am thankful. This is sometimes something I forget to do in the craziness of early childhood but I really enjoyed this morning starting off with a slow, intentional morning. I feel that my students would also benefit from taking moments throughout the day to slow down and reflect on being thankful for all the gifts we have.

# data[].attributes.body
Focus on incorporating beauty and goodness into my lessons and classroom.

Five finger examination to check in with myself but also encourage my students to delve deeper into what they are feeling.

# data[].attributes.body
To take time, even 5 minutes, to pause and reflect on everything going on in my day and life. Reach out to other colleagues/adults to share my thoughts and allow their feedback.

# data[].attributes.body
Being a seeker of truth is one of my strengths when teaching. Being able to say to students “I’m not too sure about that” and then research the question with the students or, later and informing the students of the answer. This always helps to let the students know that I am human and it is ok to not know everything but it is also good to seek the truth.

# data[].attributes.body
I talk to students regularly about the beauty around them - at times this is explicit, other times implicit. I think it’s important for them to stop and smell the roses rather than get caught up in the routines and rituals of everyday school life without doing so.

# data[].attributes.body
Beauty. I try to see the beauty in the little things around. Particularly the environment which we know is changing both seasonally and globally. Students these days may struggle to intuitively understand this unless they see someone model this. Therefore I try to make it explicitly known, and maybe to further this I’ll ask students to take time to reflect and investigate the beauty around them.

# data[].attributes.body
Beginning as a teacher this year, my focus has been on truth: getting my head around curriculum content and how to teach it. As the year goes on, I have realised how important it is to shift my focus towards both beauty and goodness. By purposefully incorporating beauty and goodness into my classroom and my lessons, I can focus on student engagement, student wellbeing, and building connections and relationships.

# data[].attributes.body
The five finger examen as I take the time to pause and reflect on my day in a balanced way.

# data[].attributes.body
Beauty, I can appreciate everything around me. I am grateful for the space where I get to teach and the environment around me. I share this love with my students snd encourage them to consider their environment, stating what they are grateful for.

# data[].attributes.body
Beauty and Goodness. I try to ensure that I acknowledge all of the good things happening in the classroom and around the school. I allow my students to find the goodness in everything that they do - making a positive outlook outweigh the negative.

# data[].attributes.body
Goodness - for all children, especially those with challenging behaviour I always make a point to recognise the good choices and kindness they show so that they are receiving positive messages.

# data[].attributes.body
A life full of love and purpose. Purpose that will grow and transcend to all stages of life. To keep me motivated, inspired and if needed bring me back to my why.

# data[].attributes.body
Goodness - seeking the good in all things and being able to love, nurture and accept all no matter the hardships or differences.

The desire for truth is evidenced by student engagement in the classroom. Their questions show a search for knowledge and deep understanding about their faith and the world around them.

Students questioning the content beyond what was planned. Then letting their interest spark the remainder of the lesson - more student guided.

Students looking for deeper understanding and knowledge or why things are happening the way they do.

Give a sense of further knowledge of areas.

# data[].attributes.body
Students often ask in the class the question ‘why’ - I think it is at this point students are striving to explore and gain a further understanding of both the content, but also, deciphering a way that they can understand what it is we are doing. Allowing for the process of self growth, understanding and development.

# data[].attributes.body
To help me to continue to recognise the image of God in every student. To fully understand each students potential, to further support them in discovering their pathway

# data[].attributes.body
Students are constantly asking questions as they curiously seek the truth. I have received many questions, particularly in terms of Christianity and the work of God. You can see the curiosity in every subject as they search for answers. As teachers we are consistently learning and seeking information to further inform our teaching practices and best help are students.

# data[].attributes.body
Some students are very curious and inquisitive about certain topics. They ask following questions and engage well in discussion. Clearly they want to find out more and acquire more knowledge in areas they find interesting.

# data[].attributes.body
In my class, we have been focusing on the idea of ‘Dream Big’. Students were invited to reflect on a term goal, as well as goals for their future. I thought students would say jobs they wanted but in these students wrote goals such as ‘be a mother, love someone, make a difference for someone’.

Goodness - I aim to have all students feel supported and recognise their own strengths and talents

Teaching SoR2 allows me to focus on the depths of human nature. We look into the motivations for cruelty and the relationship love plays in healing wounds we gather during our lives. My lessons always focus on the concept of God is Love, and seek to provide practical methods of incorporating this in our daily interactions.

This session reminds me of values based living, living a life with self-awareness and aligned to your values leads to greater happiness and my own desire to do so.

I see and hear students in secondary school struggle to find their place and space (especially after PT night) and can see how they’re searching to find that sense of self.
