It describes scientifically validated programs from positive psychology, article taught in schools, that have an impact on student well-being. The growing body of evidence about the reach of positive psychology has formed a convincing case to con- sider well-being an operational goal for educational systems. It is argued that this goal is pivotal and should be pursued in the same way in which we develop strategies to harness academic growth, school retention rates, and student engagement. National education policies can have widespread influence at the grassroots level on school improvement, good quality of classroom teaching and learning, student performance, creating confident and creative individuals and active and informed citizens, but not necessarily on the preventative skills for lifelong well-being. In this article I take stock on the positive education movement. Three approaches to positive education are identi- fied and eight hurdles to the field are noted as reasons why positive education won’t stick in policy. Then, I reflect on two case studies: a Well-being Summit and Round Table held at Wellington College and No.

  • Impact of Positive Education Psychology on the First-Year Student Experience
    Impact of positive education psychology on the first-year student experience Dr Anna Golab, A/Prof Denise Gengatharen, A/Prof Ferry Jie, Dr Reza Kiani Mavi, Dr Catherine Moore, Magdalena Korecki School of Business and Law, Edith Cowan University, Western Australia Abstract Positive Psychological Interventions (Positive Education) uses a multi- dimensional approach that includes fostering beliefs and developing a growth mindset to reduce anxiety and psychological distress and improve well-being. Positive education has been shown to improve secondary students’ engagement, well-being and self-efficacy, impacting achievement. Seligman’s (2011) PERMA framework with its elements of positive emotions, engagement, relationship, meaning and accomplishment has been successfully used to assess positive education strategies in schools. However, the model has not been tested at the tertiary level. We used the PERMA model framework to create a survey that was suitable for the tertiary level and implemented positive education strategies in a class of mainly foreign on-campus students to determine the usefulness of the model. Results showed a strong relationship between positive emotions and engagement, engagement and relationship, engagement and meaning and engagement and accomplishment, but a lack of association between accomplishment and: positive emotions, relationship and meaning. Background and Rationale Positive psychology is grounded in an understanding of how the human mind works and offers an approach that helps to foster mental well-being and resulting actions. In high-performing workplaces, approaches to employer/employee relations and performance management that foster a sense of well-being are increasingly acknowledged as a factor in improving productivity and workplace success (Avey et al., 2010).

  • Positive Education and Teaching for Wisdom Michel Ferrari and Christine E
    12 Positive Education and Teaching for Wisdom Michel Ferrari and Christine E. Guthrie A good education should provide more than technical skills: it should also develop the personal maturity necessary to allow students to live a good and satisfying life that promotes well-being for themselves and for their communities. And, indeed, when asked to say in a word or two what they wanted most for their children, par- ents most often answered in terms of “happiness,” “contentment,” “good health,” or “kindness” – in essence, their children’s well-being (Seligman, 2011; Selig- man, Ernst, Gillham, Reivich, & Linkins, 2009). And yet when asked, “What do schools teach?” parents answered things like “thinking skills,” “literacy,” and “mathematics.” But as has been understood since ancient times, we desire skills for the sake of happiness, but only happiness is desired for its own sake (Aristo- tle, Nicomachean Ethics). The field of positive education has emerged in response to this division. Positive education applies the findings of positive psychology to educational contexts, to promote the well-being (or happiness, used here synony- mously) of students and school communities. Positive educators argue that aca- demic skills, though important, form only part of the path to a good life; schools should “teach both the skills of well-being and the skills of [academic] achieve- ment” (Seligman et al., 2009, p. 294). What is more, positive education is indi- rectly associated with improved academic skills by promoting broader attention (Rowe, Hirsh, Anderson, & Smith, 2007), more creative thinking (Isen, Daub- man, & Nowicki, 1987), and more holistic thinking (Kuhl, 2000).

The word ‘PROSPER’ communicates the purpose of the frame- article work and is also an acronym that highlights the seven key elements that have been identified as contributing to wellbeing: Positivity, Relationships, Outcomes, Strengths, Purpose, Engagement, and Resilience. Confirmatory data on the usefulness of the PROSPER framework, obtained through surveys conducted with researchers from the Institute of Positive Psychology and Education (ACU) and fifty-four educators from four different schools, is presented and discussed. A rationale for the inclusion of the seven components is provided and the PROSPER framework is then further supported by reference to the evidence-informed school and classroom practices that contribute to student wellbeing and achievement and help to build schools as enabling institutions.

Thank you to Clyde School’s Board of Trustees for supporting my professional learning, including my sabbatical in 2018 and to my great colleagues at Clyde School, particularly our A.P. Stephanie Kitto, D.P. Barb Lambeth, and my office manager Chrissy Ramage who so capably ‘ran the cutter’ in my absence during a busy term. The sabbatical reports of my principal colleagues have been a wonderful reference source with my inquiry. A special thank you to Petrina Eastwood, Ros McQuillan-Mains and Debbie Smith for sharing your sabbatical learning journeys with us. Finally thank you to Kirsten Holm and my other Danish friends who introduced me to ‘hugge’ and the hauora benefits of cycling in Copenhagen, pickled herrings and an evening with a beer by the canal. Background and Rationale “Only 25% of the New Zealand population is mentally flourishing. 75% of us have an elevated risk of mental illness.Our children, like others in the western world, suffer from depression and anxiety at ten times the rate of 50 years ago.Our youth suicide rate is the highest in the developed world.” Dr Lucy Hone presented her audience with these challenging facts when she opened the second annual New Zealand Positive Education Conference in Christchurch in April 2018.

The high prevalence worldwide of depression among young people, the small rise in life satisfaction, and the synergy between learning and positive emotion all argue that the skills for happiness should be taught in school. There is substantial evidence from well controlled studies that skills that increase resilience, positive emotion, engagement and meaning can be taught to schoolchildren. We present the story of teaching these skills to an entire school—Geelong Grammar School—in Australia, and we speculate that positive education will form the basis of a ‘new prosperity’, a politics that values both wealth and well-being. Introduction First, a quiz: In two words or less, what do you most want for your children? If you are like the hundreds of parents I’ve asked, you responded, ‘Happiness’, ‘Confidence’, ‘Contentment’, ‘Balance’, ‘Good Stuff’, ‘Kindness’, ‘Health’, ‘Satisfaction’, and the like. In short, you most want well-being for your children. In two words or less, what do schools teach? If you are like other parents, you responded, ‘Achievement’, ‘Thinking Skills’, ‘Success’, ‘Conformity’, ‘Literacy’, ‘Mathematics’, ‘Discipline’ and the like.

  • Behavior Issues and Special Education
    Behavior Issues and Special Education ehavior is complex. When children are struggling, there are often multiple reasons. Emotions and behavior can get in the way of learning. Learning problems can cause Bbehavior and emotional problems. Behavior can be the result of a how a student’s brain works. What is a behavior telling us? Behavior is a form of communication. Is the student trying to get something? Is he or she trying to protest, escape or avoid something? What should we do to help? What is the school’s role in addressing behavior concerns that arise there? This packet provides information on: • understanding behavior • difficult behaviors that might be seen at school • additional resources available in print and online • the connection between behavior, emotional issues, and Special Education When a student has an Individual Education Plan (IEP) there are special requirements if behavior gets in the way of learning. When a behavior results in school discipline, there are specific ways discipline is handled for students in Special Education (see the Matrix information packet on School Discipline). Parents are members of the IEP team, and parent input is needed and vital. While parents do not need to know how to write a behavior plan, it helps to know the parts of behavior plans and their requirements. Important Note: In July 2013, California did away with its more stringent requirements around managing behavior for students in Special Education. California Education code is now the same as Federal Education code. This information packet reflects those changes. Disability Rights California has more information www.disabilityrightsca.org Matrix has Help! sheets on The California Department of Education website Positive behavior topics along with other related information packets: Environments, Network of Trainers or PENT (www.pent.ca.gov) has many helpful resources about ADHD/ADD behavior.
