Self management teacher's powerpoint

Editor's Notes

• #5 Here are just 6 key areas of Self-Management (there are others) they animate one at a time which gives you the chance to ask your students what they think each one means
• #6 Jack is one of the young people who has worked on this project for the last 2 years. He was at 2nd Chance an alternative provider of education working with slightly older YP. He left school with very few qualifications and has had a tough life. He now has a job working at HSS after completing their apprenticeship programme.
• #7 Really important to get the students to be honest, and be real and give examples. Major on the positives. You can either ask a student to do it themselves where s/he reflects on what s/he thinks their friends would say or if the group know each other you can ask the group to get in pairs and ask each member of the group to assess the other person. Take a little time to feedback to the whole group you may for example want to simply ask the group how they would assess one individual in the group (has to be someone who is confident and up for it) or alternatively they could assess you as the teacher. Important for it to be fun and engaging and ask constantly “can you give an example” ?
• #8 Getting students to think of the right Questions is crucial to them leading the discussion and thinking about how to discover what they like and what they are good at (quite often the same thing!) When we ran this as a workshop some of the questions which the YP came up with included: What would your closest friend say your best skill is? What animal or colour best describes your skills? What would you like to see in the mirror 10 years from now? What are your greatest influences? What gives you the boost to continue and not give up when you are doing something you enjoy? If you were a footballer, what position would you play? What are you really like?  
• #10 Encouraging a young person to illustrate a poster gives them the opportunity to consider what they like best or what they find the most challenging. There are lots of quotes on the internet around these topics and we’ve included a few here if students want to use these.
• #15 The different Facework Challenge sheets which you can download free from the website will give important prompts to help students think creatively about the element. We’ve purposefully kept them simple and not too text heavy. We’ve also made them available in WORD so you can add your own suggested activities or got students to co-design them. - this is crucial to their effectiveness.
