Bringing Positivity and Wellbeing into the Classroom

Over the past few years, the topic of people’s wellbeing has been brought to the forefront, especially in the workplace. There has been greater awareness and acknowledgment of how crucial our wellbeing is to our careers and daily lives.As educators we also have the opportunity to highlight the importance of wellbeing and to share techniques to help our students build resilience in the classroom. This workshop will demonstrate activities that teachers can use with their students to learn more about their strengths, their fears, and how to develop a growth mindset when faced with challenges. There will also be discussion on how we can encourage students to learn more about themselves and others in order to motivate them to overcome difficulties and enhance their wellbeing. The session aims to promote activities that can help motivate not only the educator but the students to build upon their skills and progress inside and outside of the classroom. Participants will practice and learn wellbeing activities that they can adapt to their teaching contexts.
