Success is not the key to happiness, happiness is the key to success. Albert Schweitzer
Research over the last few years has explored the patterns of thinking, feeling and relating that create human success. It is recognised that wellbeing is not a standalone feature of individuals; rather it is inextricably linked to that individual's ability to flourish and achieve.
The connection between education and happiness is firmly established, confirming what teachers already know: happy children learn and perform better than unhappy children.
This programme introduces the core elements of positive psychology and conveys them in a clear and practical way for primary-aged children. The 15 sessions aim to teach pupils how to: realise their personal strengths; connect healthily with others; build friendships; and reach out to trustworthy adults.
There are full facilitator notes with all the necessary resources to run an interactive programme that will be delivered with a sense of fun, to engage and inspire all learners.
To support the programme, the book also contains a section on the key concepts of positive psychology that underpin the sessions, a PowerPoint for staff training, and downloadable resources with copiable materials and useful websites.
