Secondary schools; Teaching of a specific subject; Health & Self-Help; Personal & social issues: self-awareness & self-esteem (Children's&YA)

This updated edition is a theoretical and practical guide to implementing a well-being programme in your school. The book covers three areas: well-being as a philosophy of education, the teaching approach to well-being and the content that might form a well-being programme in a school. It is also a manifesto for a meaningful aim to education.

There has recently been an explosion of interest in positive psychology

and the teaching of well-being and 'happiness' in the PSHE world in

schools and many teachers are looking for clear information on how to

implement these potentially life-changing ideas in the classroom. This

book provides an introduction to the theory of positive psychology and a

practical guide on how to implement the theory in (primarily secondary)

schools. It is written by Ian Morris who worked under Anthony Seldon at Wellington College which is well-known for its well-being and happiness curriculum.
