Implementing Positive Psychology in the Classroom

Join us as we delve into Martin E.P. Seligman’s exciting book Flourish, which turns the medical model of psychology on its head by focusing on amplifying well-being as opposed to the disease model of relieving suffering. We’ll examine the research behind the PERMA model, which identifies five areas that are important to human flourishing – positive emotion, engagement, good relationships, meaning and purpose in life, and accomplishments.

Participants will learn to use the Positive Psychology Faculty Tool Kit, which will allow them to impart the principles of Positive Psychology in their classrooms.

Together, we’ll spend several sessions exploring steps to incorporate the toolkit in our curriculum for the upcoming quarter (s). We’ll also explore how to implement the ideas we discuss into real-life practices for the benefit of ourselves, our loved ones, and our BC community!

15 PD Hours – 10 seats | $150 stipend*
