UNICEF Rights Respecting School What is a rights respecting school? It is a school where: Young people gain self esteem by learning about the rights they have from birth and build from there. I learn about my rights, I feel included, my self esteem rises, I can begin to think about others and their rights, I learn to negotiate, my language and thinking skills are extended Children learn the difference between wants and needs. Children learn that with rights come responsibilities for adults and children Everyone learns the language of rights, respect, responsibilities Children become active global citizens Children gain a powerful voice Children are ready to take the lead to create a rights respecting school Do the above sound familiar to you? Where have you heard this before? How do you already promote the above in your setting? Share what you already do. 7. Committees Children, P1-P7, work in vertical groupings committees: Global Citizenship Outdoor Learning Sustainability Eco schools UNICEF Rights Respecting School Health Promoting school School CouncilDo you / could you have Committees in your school?

Bounce Back programme Based on values and resilience:BouncebackValues: respect, responsibility, acceptance, friendliness, fairness, cooperation, care and support, honesty Resilience: Bad times dont last. Things always get better. Stay optimistic Other people can help if you talk to them. Get a reality check Unhelpful thinking makes you feel more upset Nobody is perfect not you and not others Concentrate on the good and funny bits Everybody has setbacks sometimes Blame fairly Accept the things you cant change, but try to change what you can first Catastrophising exaggerates your worries Keep things in perspective. A distressing situation is only part of your life.How could this help you to promote a health culture in your setting? 9. Restorative Approaches The way this works is: Children break a value/ responsibility Each child involved tells their side of the story They come together to discuss the way forward and how to make amends Adult acts as facilitator This is time consuming but hands responsibility over to the child and reduces bad behaviour in the longer term. Would this approach work in your school? How could you implement it? 10. Personal Achievement All children Nursery P7 undertake achievement projects each year The categories are: health and fitness, hobbies and interests, exploring the outdoors, helping in the community One project a term as homework plus exploring the outdoors is achieved mainly through recording experiences on specially chosen trips Children take home a leaflet and agree with parents what they will focus on Children present their work to an audience A record card is kept to ensure children do not repeat projects Promotes the recognition of skills used Involves parents in their childrens learning Promotes IDL Enables children to share experiences Enables everyone to celebrate achievement Is enjoyable and gives breadth to childrens experiencesHow do you/ could you take this forward in your school? 11.

Skills Thinking skills using Blooms Taxonomy Developing a new style of pupil / staff dialogue: What are you learning today? So what thinking skills are you using to help? How are they helping? How could you use that skill out of school? How could you use that skill when you grow up? This gives the children increased responsibility for their learning and helps them make sense of what they are learning and why it is important. Social Skills We are focussing on the following: We have developed with the children differentiated goals. These are included in the Learning Logs to share with parents.
