Wellbeing Journal-Planner

It is always nice to get some validation for our work here at SSIS. The folks at the Institute of Positive Education are packaging a couple of our PRIME strategies (i.e., journaling and planner) into a new teaching/learning product. This connects to our PRIME strategy of using school planners to integrate wellness into our teaching. One can bet that their diary/planner will be filled with prompts, graphics and other structures to help students reflect and deepen their understanding of wellness.

Here are a few of their listed strategies:

• vital information designed to enhance their wellbeing,

• a ‘Top Tip’ to help them act on this information,

• scannable QR codes so they can watch related video content,

• a thematic song to listen to,

• a ‘Random Act of Kindness’ idea,

• space for notes and drawing,

• mindfulness colouring,

• an inspiring quote,

• space to write 3 good things that happened that week,

• smiley-face mood tracker to circle to summarise how they feel about their week, and

• a sleep tracker to note how many hours of sleep they’re getting each night.
