Session 1 · THRIVE: Value
Build the Recharge Kit
- 10 minShare out kit sections: sleep science, wind-down routine, taming screens, stress toolbox, handling change, saying no, where to get help.
- 30 minDraft your section for students about to start intermediate: short sentences, one clear picture or diagram, one thing to try tonight.
- 10 minGallery walk: leave one question and one suggestion on each section with sticky notes.
Session 2 · THRIVE: Evaluate
What did we learn, and does the kit work?
- 15 minFinish your five-day experiment: compare your log before and during. Did your recharger help? How sure are you?
- 15 minPool anonymous results: how many people found their recharger helped, made no difference, or were unsure? What does this tell us, and what doesn't it?
- 15 minTest the kit: read it with a buddy from a junior class or a visiting group, and note what they understood and what confused them.
- 10 minRevise the kit and plan how it will reach next year's new students and their whānau.
Getting started
Use a kit template with a heading, three bullet points and a picture box for each section.
Stretch
Write a short 'evidence note' for your section that explains where the facts came from and how you know they are trustworthy.
Checkpoint
A finished Recharge Kit tested with a younger audience, and every student can explain what their own experiment showed.
