Wellbeing Reflection Activity: Time Ownership (refer to http://learningcurve.com.au)

Parent Wellbeing: Self Determination Theory (SDT) comprises three components, competence, autonomy and relatedness which combine together to determine your level of motivation. Describe what each component could mean for you.

Personal timetables empower students to be in charge of what they need to do and when they will do them. Using a personal timetable Students will be more:

mindful of and connected to what is happening right now

likely to achieve what they set out to do

create strong patterns of behaviour for their brains

The self-regulation strength encourages students to take greater ownership of their learning progress as:

their Personal Timetable is a contract with themselves

completing a timetable and sticking to it will build their resilience to distractions

they develop a sense of meaning and purpose for being at school

it will provide them with more time for themselves by reducing “nothing time” between activities

after living by their timetables for three weeks, they will realise themselves how it is making their lives better

The Timetables (refer to planner index) show the suggested number of weekly Home Learning/ Study Sessions for each year level.

Use the teamwork and leadership strengths at home to help students stick to their timetable. A good strategy is to place a copy on the fridge
