Course Summary
Positive psychology is the scientific study of strengths and conditions that enable individuals and communities to thrive. This specialist course applies the PERMA framework: Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning and Accomplishment to education, together with strengths-based practice, hope, gratitude and positive institutions. It clearly distinguishes wellbeing from forced happiness and avoids toxic positivity, cultural prescription and the denial of genuine difficulty.
Course objectives
- Understand the foundations, scope and limits of positive psychology and positive education;
- Explore practical educational applications of the PERMA framework;
- Use strengths-based approaches without labelling learners or ignoring difficulty;
- Develop classroom practices that support engagement, relationships, hope, meaning and accomplishment;
- Design sustainable wellbeing routines for students, educators and school communities;
- Create an ethical, evidence-informed flourishing plan with appropriate indicators.
Course Goals
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Explain positive psychology as more than happiness or positive thinking.
- Use PERMA to analyse a learning environment or staff-wellbeing context.
- Facilitate strengths identification and strengths-based feedback responsibly.
- Design activities that develop engagement, positive relationships, meaning and accomplishment.
- Apply gratitude, hope and savouring practices appropriately and inclusively.
- Recognise toxic positivity, cultural differences, safeguarding boundaries and referral needs.
- Produce a classroom or whole-school flourishing plan with realistic implementation indicators.
