1 Positive Education at GSLC Why a strength-based approach is important Positive Psychology is a scientifically informed perspective on how to nurture the best in humans so that we are able to live happy, fulfilling and flourishing lives. Positive Education is the application of these psychological understandings and practices in an educational context. Positive Psychology and Positive Education involves students, staff and parents as our mental health is inter-dependent. What are Strengths? Strengths are attributes and qualities of our personalities that we use in our day-to day lives. They are shaped by our experiences and the values with which we identify and choose to live. We engage naturally in activities where we use our strengths and find this energizing and enjoyable. The positive emotions we experience when using our strengths increase our motivation, persistence and resilience in the face of obstacles, increasing the likelihood of successfully achieving our goals. A simple definition of strengths therefore is The things that we do well, enjoy doing and choose to do Scientific research has linked strengths use to; positive relationships, increased wellbeing & life satisfaction increased motivation, optimism and resilience lower levels of depression & anxiety increased job satisfaction & engagement academic engagement, diligence and self-efficacy goal achievement We also know that Knowing about our strengths isn t enough, we need to apply and develop them at the right time, to the right degree and in a variety of ways. The more we practice using our strengths, the greater the benefit It is more effective to develop our strengths in collaboration with others Why a strengths-based approach to education? Young people are often unaware of their strengths or may not know how best to apply them. Research has shown that psychological skills such as character strengths are at least as important as cognitive (thinking) skills in predicting success in many areas of life and they can be more reliable predictors of academic success than IQ.
2 A strength-based approach integrated broadly into the student s life and school experience can improve their engagement with learning and potential success, as well as contributing to their mental health, wellbeing and satisfaction with life. Describing strengths The VIA Character Strengths (Years 6-12) Strengths are widely recognized as the foundation of all work in the Positive Education movement and there are many ways to identify and describe individual strengths. In 2004, Chris Peterson and Martin Seligman developed a framework for identifying our key character strengths called the Values in Action (VIA). This extensively peer-reviewed research sought to identify positive human traits which are universally valued across cultures and time. The framework is designed for individuals to identify their 5 Signature Strengths from a list of 24 character strengths grouped into six core virtues Each of the VIA Character Strengths is a strength in its own right because it is morally valued, therefore none should be seen as a weakness; simply one that is used less frequently and therefore you have less ability to apply it. Although character strengths are part of our personality, they are also shaped by our circumstances so using different combinations of strengths will be appropriate at different times and circumstances. For more information on this framework, visit VIA character strengths provide a language for describing an individual s strengths and so the aim of a strength-based approach is to help students to discover and apply their strengths more deliberately. The IB Learner Profile and Attitudes (Transition - Year 5) At Good Shepherd, we employ the VIA Character Strengths as the framework for exploring strengths in Years 6-12 via the online survey. For students in years T-5, the IB PYP learner profile and attitudes provide the focus for character reflection. As students progress through their primary schooling, connections are increasingly made with the VIA character strengths so that by Year 6, students will also be using the language of the VIA. Working with your children on their character strengths Language shapes the way we think and what we think about. The IB Learner Profile and Attitudes (T-5) and the VIA Character Strengths (6-12) provide the common language and lens for understanding who we are - at good times and bad- and what it means to thrive. The 5 basic strands of a strength-based approach Use the character strengths language (T-5: IB Learner Profile or 6-12: VIA character strengths) Help students to recognize and thinking about their own strengths; Talk with them about how their strengths are used in specific life and school situations Look for strengths in others and value these (tell them!) Practice being intentional about using strengths in new ways. Share, value and celebrate strengths with family, friends etc.
