Positive psychology, properly understood and applied, offers a
tremendous opportunity for improving student and teacher
experiences and the overall success of any school. The connection
between education and happiness is recognised to be mutually
reinforcing; education helps students to be happy and happy
students gain more from education. Research has confirmed what
educators have long known - that happy students typically achieve
more in the classroom and exam room than unhappy students and are
more energetic, persistent, creative and better able to get on with
others. Using Positive Psychology to Enhance Student Achievement is
unique in translating a complex literature written by academic
psychologists into a highly practical resource. The activities have
been designed to provide a creative and engaging way of enabling
students to discover their strengths both in terms of their
cognitive abilities and `virtues', i.e. character strengths.
Throughout the programme students are introduced to the key
insights of positive psychology: the importance of being connected
to others; character training and metacognitive strategies;
positive rather than reactive thinking and habits; developing the
skills essential for building optimism and resilience; recognising
and combating negative thoughts; and understanding that there are
certain ways of thinking that can make their lives better.
Easy-to-deliver sessions with comprehensive facilitator
instructions and activity resources are provided. All lessons are
interactive and based on group discussions and role play to ensure
that students learn more about themselves and others. Students are
encouraged to practise skills and ideas that are discussed during
the sessions in their everyday lives with home practice in the form
of `take away' activities being a core element of the programme.
This unique resource will be of real relevance and benefit to both
staff and students at upper primary and lower secondary level and
will give students the tools they need to achieve their full
potential.
