Session description

In this interactive session, you will learn realistic, manageable, and proactive strategies based in positive psychology that will help achieve work/life satisfaction as we navigate this unique time of teaching, learning, and leading. We'll unpack six fundamental understandings and then dig deeper to explore small shifts in thoughts, language, and actions. These small and manageable shifts, practiced over time, will help us teach and lead happier, parent happier, partner happier, work happier, and increase our overall happiness and well-being.   

Purpose & objective

The purpose of the presentation is to promote happiness and well-being in the classroom environment, benefiting both teachers and students. The objectives include:
1. Encouraging educators to recognize the power of small shifts and how adjustments in teaching approaches can have a profound impact on the overall happiness and engagement of students.
2. Provide practical tools and techniques to create a positive and supportive learning environment.
3. Emphasizing the importance of self-reflection, stress management, and work-life balance.
