Skills for Living

As the school year whirls to its conclusion, I would like to thank you all for the fun I have enjoyed this year, in working with you in Skills for living classes. I hope you have come out this end, feeling stronger, prouder and more confident in yourselves as individuals and gorgeous “human beans”. I found this video on Facebook this morning and thought it was a lovely sentiment on which to finish the year. Have a great, safe, fun filled holiday and we will see you all at the beginning of the 2012 school year.

As with every end of semester report writing, you are required to reflect on your Learning during terms 1 and 2. The following template can be found on the Student R Drive on the network. Please copy and paste this work document into your own folders and respond to each of the 3 prompts. When you have completed this, save it back onto the Students R drive, in the relevant year level folder and name your document, with your first name.

When you are writing new goals – consider your:
• RESILIENCE – sticking at tasks even when they become difficult
• RESOURCEFULNESS – knowing what to do when you don’t know what to do
• REFLECTIVENESS – being able to think and talk about what you have learnt and how you have learnt something
• RECIPROCITY – working with and supporting others in their learning

When you are writing your student comment, write it in terms of:
• What I did well – sticking at tasks even when they become difficult, knowing what to do when you don’t know what to do, being able to think and talk about what you have learnt and how you have learnt something, working with and supporting others in their learning.
• What I could have done better – sticking at tasks even when they become difficult, knowing what to do when you don’t know what to do, being able to think and talk about what you have learnt and how you have learnt something, working with and supporting others in their learning.

My learning Goals (from the start of the year)

Student comment (about how well you have gone towards achieving these goals)

My Future learning goals (goals for the remainder of the year) These must be explicit. When you think about a satisfying year of reaching goals and being your best, what is it that is getting in the way? Your future learning goals should reflect these challenges and your plan to make positive improvements.

This year I have decided to set up a separate blog for the Skills for Living program. This way, students will be able to locate their page and keep up with work requirements. You will find more about the Skills for Living program on the “About” page, but for now, hello and glad you landed on my blog.
