The 8R's

On occasion, I am asked what characteristics are important to me as an educator. The profile is simple it is my '8R’s'. A key element in all points is being the best we can at any given time and striving in all aspects of mental health, wellbeing and education. These include:

Relationships

• Basically, being able to get along and how we respond to each other
• Being able to respond to others respectfully
• Communicating with all, initiating and continuing a conversation
• Transition from one discussion to another

Regulate

• To be able to self-regulate and cope with challenges
• To control, adjust and manage a stimulus which can impact a response

Responsive

• Relating to others and responding positively and with kindness
• Always responding with respect and empathy
• Consistent behaviour, how we respond and relate to others

Resilience

• Coping mechanism
• Maintaining a positive mindset e.g. glass is half full, rather than half empty
• Resilience in the centre of how we function

Respect

• We all have different opinions and respond the best way we can with what we have, however, it is crucial to respect all members in our diverse community
• We focus on Fairview as a family, with shared values

Responsibility

• We are responsible for our own actions, we are accountable
• It is crucial we are responsible for each other and that we understand how to live together in our community

Rights

• Children have the right to always be safe, to receive the best care possible
• Our well-being is the core to growth and education
• We all have this right!

Reflection

• Time to think and reflect
• This helps us grow and evolve, at all ages
