This spring I am honored to provide a day long pre-conference workshop at EARCOS annual teacher conference in Bangkok, Thailand. Does this intrigue? Read on:
Title: Flourishing in Schools: Utilizing groundbreaking research and tools from positive psychology to improve student’s wellbeing.
Description: There has been a quiet transformation happening in some schools around the world as they focus on the conditions under which students, parents and faculty flourish? How do we improve student engagement? How can we better address our communities well-being? What is positive education and how does it impact student learning? Deep questions, but with some very compelling and surprisingly simple ideas to address them. In this workshop, we will look into the current research from positive psychology and its implications for teachers, counselors and administrators. The day will have lots of interactive activities and demonstration giving participants tools that they can use in their own communities.
The conference has strong counseling strand that will make it even more worthwhile to head to the Big Weird. Some I am intrigue to check out include:
