This book examines a variety of issues related to wellbeing
education and cross-cultural education, curriculum and pedagogy,
education policy and systems, teacher education and professional
development of educators, educational administration, management
and leadership, and inclusive education. Stimulated, in part, by
the launch of positive psychology, wellbeing education has grown
worldwide. Various theories of wellbeing have been adopted in
education, coining the term 'wellbeing education', defined in this
book as how school leaders and teachers plan to implement
evidence-informed wellbeing interventions to promote wellbeing and
academic goals. This book investigates a series of questions
related to wellbeing education, and how evidence-informed
wellbeing approaches are integrated into learning, teaching, and
education.
Believing You Can is the First Step to Achieving is a fun and
engaging programme for students in the upper primary years that
teaches the difference between helpful and unhelpful thinking,
increases self-belief and in doing so increases motivation to
learn. Do you ever hear students using phrases such as "I'm not
smart enough to do this?" or "I know I am going to fail?" Combining
techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attribution
Retraining, this programme teaches students the link between
thoughts, feelings and actions, how to challenge negative thinking
and how to celebrate success. The structured programme includes a
photocopiable student workbook, role play games and other activity
ideas, and all of the instruction and materials needed to easily
implement the programme in any school. This will be an ideal
resource for educational professionals looking to increase school
attainment, support students who are underachieving, and encourage
healthy and happy student development.
This book brings together an exciting group of international
academics who are experienced teachers from a diverse range of
disciplines with the common link being the development of
innovative pedagogy which will enhance the quality of the learning
dynamic. Lecturing and teaching are both art forms, at least if it
is done well, and these have to be cultivated and honed. Whether
you are a student studying education as a teaching student, an
experienced teacher in schools, or a lecturer at university, this
publication has an eclectic and informative set of chapters which
provide not only ideas but real case examples of how different
teaching techniques can work with a diverse group of students with
an age range from four to one hundred and four. The latest
technological advances are discussed as well as making the most of
the more traditional techniques. However, the key is to improve the
learning and teaching capabilities of the student and lecturer,
respectively. No book is complete or can be regarded as the
authority on any subject and this one does not profess to be.
Continual improvement in our methods is a laudable goal in the
academic profession and this book will afford the reader some
excellent insights and discussion points which will aim to enhance
the practice of teaching and thus the learning experience of our
students.
