What Is Positive Education?

Learning is challenging, especially for students with attention, organization and special learning needs. It’s not about happiness all the time. Positive Education doesn’t mean that you will be happy the whole time that you are learning, either. Instead, it is the scientific study and application of research findings from Positive Psychology and other related areas to education outcomes. There is even a professional organization, IPEN, that has set about bringing the field to worldwide awareness. The organization’s three goals are to:

  • Reform education policy at the highest levels
  • Change education practice at the classroom level
  • Support collaboration among researchers and practitioners

Is this just one more thing for politicians and researchers to tell teachers to do? No, it’s not. Positive Psychology is now 20 years old. Your students are already are affected by related well-being research, including applications of character strengths education, mindfulness, mindset,  GRIT, and resilience which are widely applied in schools.
