Positive Education: Where Science Meets Effective Application in School Context
Well-being Theatre
Overview
"This foundation introduced Positive Education to Hong Kong in 2014 in response to concerns over children's mental health, with the goal of enhancing students' well-being. In implementation, the foundation supported the first local subsidised primary school to launch a pilot project to enforce Positive Education in a whole-school model, attracting widespread interest among local schools. Apart from providing systematic professional development opportunities, this foundation supports primary and secondary school teachers to implement Positive Education in a context relevant to their school environments.
In this session, the speaker will share school-based practice with examples to illustrate how the science of Positive Psychology (e.g. character strengths, emotional learning) can be incorporated into effective school-based practice, and discuss how empirical research data can bring impact to best practice."
