Increase your pupils’ happiness and emotional resilience. This innovative programme translates key concepts from positive psychology and the recent research on happiness into a practical, ten-session curriculum which is suitable for both primary and secondary aged pupils. The sessions include:

  • Signature strengths
  • Positive self-talk
  • Think good, feel good
  • Sort that problem
  • The power of goals
  • Optimistic thinking

The programme is designed to be delivered with a sense of fun and celebration to engage and inspire all learners, and can be delivered to whole classes or to groups. It includes a variety of practical activities and cognitive techniques, as well as examples of feedback from pupils to reflect real-life experiences.

Teaching Happiness is fully compatible with SEAL, offers a clear and practical way forward for delivering the ECM standards and the outcomes of the programme can be used to inform the Ofsted self-evaluation form.

The book offers general guidance on how to deliver the programme and comes with a free CD Rom to print off various teaching activities such as Happiness Diaries.
