Creative Guidance

Not strictly creative, but I wasn’t sure where to put this! I’d like to explore setting up in person mentoring for our students - does anyone have any experience of this they are happy to share? I’m particular interested to hear what training/support/monitoring is provided to mentors - and if there is any suggested structure to sessions (or if it is up to the individuals involved).

Thank you!

Please talk to me about lego in guidance appointments - how are you using it and when?

I had some random art supplies in my bag and had no charge on my laptop so used A5 black paper and metallic pens (from Amazon) with learners in a HN provision. We discussed strengths and achievements, the dream and actions to get closer to the dream and pros and cons of future options. We both wrote and doodled and chose our favourite colour pen. The keyworkers and Head also got involved!

It was such a freeing way to do guidance and the flow of pens helped the flow of conversation. I have bought the Career Doodle book to use this more in the future in other settings.

Here are some of the final results below :)
