Happiness @ school

virtues - resilience - kindness - mental health

"The main goal of positive education is flourishing - or the positive mental health in the school community." (Norrish et. al., 2013)

In positive education we combine the traditional methods of education with the findings of positive psychology. Happiness at school ist taught around the world. Especially in a time of adversity and more children struggling with a lower mental health a supportive environment and teachings for a healthy mind are more important.

Positive Education is mainly a training of mind and heart:

Emotion awareness and emotion regulation
Mindfulness training
Seeing the good things in life
Compassion
Kindness
Character strength development
Resilience

I worked with students of Grade 1-3 and 12/13 and developed learning material for these ages. For elementary a curriculum "the happiness woodshed", for the graduates a workshop for orientation after graduation, a 360 degree assessment.
