The concept of positive education seeks higher academic achievement, alongside the development of well-being. This places an emphasis on the whole child with a focus on social, emotional and psychological skills. Research demonstrates, that when qualities such as curiosity, resilience, a growth mindset, perseverance and relationship skills are developed in pupils, there is an increase in motivation and they are more successful not just in school but in wider society. In this presentation, delegates will be introduced to a model that brings these ideas together and can be incorporated into the life and work of the classroom.
