Curators Insight

The resource which I have selected is the learning activities from growing and developing healthy relationships. This website focuses on providing lesson plans and digital resources to teachers who are teaching a large variety of topics related to positive relationships. The digital resources which are embedded into the plans are extremely relevant to real life situations as they accurately depict these situations which allows for exploration and evaluation into how these events are caused and what can solve them.

What are the Pedagogical benefits?

1. The resource has many embedded online resources such as videos and real life activities where they act out scenarios. This will further the students understanding of the topics by showing students how real people interact through relationships and communication rather than just explanations.

2. The resource encourages the teacher to implement their own pedagogy, at multiple times the resource will instruct the teacher to chose the method of delivering the information which is best for their class.

3. This resource has a great mix of both large group work which supports collaboration and creativity and individual work which encourages inquiry and investigation into these topics. This is great because as the unit progresses the work can move from being teacher focused to students focused.

4. The resources have hypothetical scenarios for the students to answer questions to. This gives the students an opportunity to practice their critical thinking when approaching these scenarios by considering the people involved and what the best method for solving it would be.

Where will it be used:

Lesson 1: What's Ok and Not Ok will be used as a basis for the lesson plan and the video tagged will be used for class discussion where the teacher will stop at certain points to get the classes and teachers insight with what is happening and how it applies to relationships.

Lesson 2: Consent: assertive and respectful communication will be used as the basis for the second lesson where the types of relationships, types of interactions and whether they can be positive and negative are explored through online research and interaction.

Growing and Developing Healthy Relationships is a great resource for introducing the topic of healthy relationships to new students. It is also beneficial to improve their comprehension and application of this information by linking it to real world scenarios and situations. The resource is transformational in the way it integrates technology to improve the learning experience in ways that were not previously possible.

In the lesson it has some realistic and potentially relatable scenarios for the students. The activities encourage the learners to think about the best methods to support and communicate with others in need. The other activities get the students to research some of the available help services online which can be used to find help.

activity 01

Speed chat! Individual support networks/Communicating with friends 35 min

Supporting others and having the support of others is one of the key elements in building respectful relationships. Building a network of support can assist us when we are going through tough times and encourage us to seek help when needed. Being part of a support network means it's important that we practise the skill of recognising when our friends are not okay.

Read out this scenario:
Lee is 14, has a large group of friends and is normally the life of the party. He has recently developed a crush on his best mate, Ben. He is having a hard time working out his feelings and doesn't feel able to share them with anyone - particularly Ben, as he doesn't want to lose their friendship. Lee doesn't feel his large group of mates will understand him either, as he has heard them use derogatory terms such as 'faggot' and 'homo' when talking about other students. Lee's friends have noticed he has stopped hanging around them, both at school and on weekends, and is no longer chatting with them online.

1. Move students to a large free space.

2. Position students facing each other, in pairs. One person indicates they are Person A; the other, Person B.

Person A asks questions 1, 3, 5 and 7.

Person B asks questions 2, 4, 6 and 8.

3. Students are provided with the speed chat questions (see below) and are to ask their first partner question 1. Each pair has one minute to discuss their responses.

4. Student A moves one space to the left. Student B remains in the same place and their new partner reads out the next question, which Student B answers. This process is repeated until all the questions are answered.

Questions

1. What indicators are there that Lee isn't okay? Include examples of what he may look/sound like online and in face-to-face contexts.

2. What barriers may Lee be facing with sharing his feelings?

3. What qualities and characteristics do people need in order to be part of a network of support?

4. What are the strengths of using text/online chat to ask if Lee is okay?

5. What are the weaknesses of using text/online chat to ask if Lee is okay?

6. What threats arise from using text/online chat as forms of communication to ask if Lee is okay?

7. Discuss a situation where you have asked a friend if they are okay. How did you ask?

8. What immediate supports are available for you and a friend at school and online if you or they are not okay?

Whole-class discussion: Who is in your network of support?
