Positive education brings together the science of positive psychology with best practice teaching to encourage and support individuals, schools and communities to flourish. It is a combination of “feeling good and doing good”. Positive education focuses on specific skills that assist students to strengthen their relationships, build positive emotions, enhance personal resilience, promote mindfulness and encourage a healthy lifestyle.
