How Might We- bringing multiple optimistic viewpoints to the challenge

Our next step was completing a 'How might we..' process in relation to the challenges people had decided on. By this stage, my challenge had changed, and was now:

'Young people develop wellbeing and resilience strategies at different rates, and some require additional support when faced with difficult situations'.

Our reworded challenges were displayed on the wall for all to see. Our task was to then go to everyone else's challenge and ask a 'How might we?' question to try and provoke thinking around our chosen challenges.

I found this an empowering and beneficial process to go through. It enabled us to again see our challenges through the lens of someone else, but in an optimistic, problem solving manner, rather than thinking about the negatives of a challenge.

The questions others posed for me to think about were:

How might we...

• Provide relatable resources for students to engage with?
• Better understand the 'why' behind the differences?
• Use digital tools to create rewindable learning for those that need more support or repetition?
• Identify and frame up the essential list of strategies needed for this?
• Determine why young people develop coping strategies at different rates?
• Use students who have strengths in resilience to support and guide those with lower resilience capabilities?
• Create a support network for students outside of their whanau?
• Enable students to utilise additional support resources independently?
• Identify which students require additional support? What measurement?
