CHECK-IN CHARTS (PDF Download)

Do you regularly check in with your students and children, but the response is often ‘good’, ‘dunno’, ‘fine’, or a shrug of the shoulders? This collection of check in charts is designed to spark more descriptive interactions and understanding of how young people are thinking, feeling, doing.
 
Designed for use at home, in the classroom, playground or clinic, there are several options to explore including:
 
1. QUICK BRAINY CHECK-IN
The Quick Brainy Check in Chart is a collection of twelve BrainyCo brains designed to quickly elicit shared understanding of how an individual is feeling, thinking or doing?
 
2. ENERGY METER & POWER UP / POWER DOWN ACTIVITY SHEET
The Energy Meter is a brilliant way to facilitate self-awareness and management including energy and emotional regulation strategies.

Learning looks different for everyone and can also look different depending on the task or time of day. This chart is designed to elicit reflections about this process, help students identify what has got in the way of learning and how to shift back to smooth sailing learning brain.
