Teachers often meet to discuss policy, process or procedures, all of which are important, but what about time to discuss people?
Teaching is both a social and emotional vocation requiring positive connections by everyone within the school community.
This deck of cards encourages teachers to have reflective conversations that inspire imagination, curiosity and possibility by asking“If you could…why?”
Great as ice-breaker activities before meetings.
Each card has a question based on 7 categories;
How we could celebrate?
How we could dream?
How we could inspire?
How we could be kind?
How we could be creative?
How we could leave a legacy?
How we could practise self-care?
Here is one way you could use these cards with staff, if purchasing for your school;
When you have your next staff meeting, place the connect box cards randomly on tables. Encourage people to pick a card and answer the question with a partner while they are waiting for people to arrive, to start the meeting. This is great way to bring 'play' to a meeting.
