Ian Morris
This book explores how to best enable individuals to make the best of their potential, drawing on a growing body of scientific evidence on the causal factors around happiness and wellbeing that can then be applied to education.
Morris suggests that the process of teaching wellbeing involves pupils in a simple three-stage process: awareness (notice), intervention (act) and evaluation (reflect). He proposes that the wellbeing of pupils is anchored to teacher wellbeing and whole school wellbeing. All forms of wellbeing, he suggests, are poised at the centre of education with the support of the ‘satellite principles’ of stillness, awareness, strength, prudence, values and relationships.
Each chapter provides lesson ideas and teacher resources for developing pupils’ wellbeing.
In listing research, EdCentral makes no judgment or recommendation as to its quality, validity or methodology and none should be inferred. Through peer ratings left by education practitioners, EdCentral’s aim is to support the development of a repository of shared knowledge and experience.
