September 2023

September is a month of change. For educators, the autumn term brings new students, new classrooms, new timetables, and even new colleagues. It is both an exciting and challenging time, when your own toolkit of strengths is really put to the test.

For our students, it is equally as exciting and challenging. Imagine trying to navigate all of the above without a fully loaded toolkit of strengths to draw from. When everything is new, adaptability is key. But if you don’t know how to adapt because you’ve never really had to, or if you’ve not learned the skills of perseverance or resilience because someone always stepped in to fix the problem, then September and October can be a very testing couple of months.

To give your students a little bit of extra support at this time of year, use our ‘New Beginnings’ or ‘Transition’ resources to help guide them through this period of change. You can download the resources below or log into the website to find the full range.
