Based on action research and implementation at one of the world's
great schools, this book provides a much-needed exploration of how
to implement positive education at a whole school level.
Evidence-Based Approaches in Positive Education summarises the
integration of a whole-school mental health and well-being
strategy, positive psychology programs and pastoral care models
from 3 - 18 years of age. Positive education is the teaching of
scientifically validated programs from positive psychology and
character education that have an impact on student and staff
well-being. It is an approach that focuses on teaching, building
and embedding social and emotional learning throughout a student's
experience. St Peter's College - Adelaide is the only institution
in the world to integrate Martin Seligman's well-being theory
throughout all aspects of both its strategic intent and positive
education programs. The School's vision is to be a world-class
school where all boys flourish. Its mission is to provide an
exceptional education that brings out the very best in every boy.
This is done within an intellectually and spiritually rich
environment that nurtures international-mindedness, intercultural
understanding, respect and a commitment to social justice. This
book captures the developments of the St Peter's College journey.
It focuses on the integration of well-being across seven strategic
goals: Academics; Well-being; Student Life; Entrepreneurship;
Innovation and Partnerships; People, Culture and Change;
Sustainability and Environment; Community Engagement, Advancement,
and Philanthropy. A uniquely Australian school, the impact of a St
Peter's College education is to build great men: who believe
safety, service and integrity and fundamental parts of their lives;
who are active members of communities that are socially and
culturally diverse; who engage in political, ethical, and
environmental challenges as good citizens. Since 1847, St Peter's
College alumni have had global and life-changing impact in all
fields of human endeavour. The School's alumni include three Nobel
Laureates, 42 Rhodes Scholars, Olympians and Archbishops, artists
and scientists, educators and journalists, actors and politicians,
philanthropists and physicians, CEOs, diplomats and soldiers,
explorers, painters and poets. This book shares evidence-based
practices and makes a substantial contribution to the rapidly
developing field of positive psychology and its application in
schools.
