I liked the five questions and will try and meet them every day. The deep breathing before a test will help my students.
Having a positive mindset will help anyone get through hard challenges and obstacles
Journaling about the positive strengths will help students focus on the healthier aspects of learning. I really like this idea and plan on using it in my teaching style. Sometimes focusing on positive can be hard and it will help the students moral as they journey through a difficult subject like nursing to center on positive.
Comment on Verna Pitts's post: Love your outlook, thanks for sharing!
I am going to try PERMA, I have been doing a kind of inventory at the end of the day, but this is supposed to be more specific. I like this lesson; I see the connection with teaching.
A little positivity goes a long way!
I enjoyed learning about the PERMA model. I am going to implement this into my classrooms.
Comment on GURKAMAL SIDHU's post: This is a good idea. Students as well as instructors of some level of stress. Relaxation techniques could be beneficial to all. Introducing this type of exercise at the end of class may help build a positve rapport with students.
I liked that what I learned fell right into how I view the world and my own life. It helps to know these things so that I can make sure to exhibit them to the students and not just assume that they know them. Everyone is at a different level in their own awareness and, as instructors, it is our job to help them dig deeper.
I have learned some of what I sort of already knew, that positive responses to even the most negative events can help anyone manage better and even thrive. I learned ways to articulate this to others, rather than just having a nebulous internal concept that I struggled to communicate. New tools to use with my adult students as they navigate the world of work, family and school all rolled into one.
I've gained a formal understanding of positive psychology, which I previously knew only in an intuitive and informal way. More importantly, I've learned that as a professor, I can use and implement models such as PERMA and Character Strengths with both myself and my students, making a positive impact on their academic journey.
I Am intereses in positive Psychology applied to education because, ir has a great potencial to Help students to flourinsh and grow up
Positive psychology can enhance well-being
To utilize and familiarize myself to PERMA
I've learned from this module to be more conscious of my perspective and well-being on a daily basis. I want to experiment with the PERMA assessment at the end of each the day, which I think is the similar practice of "gratitude" journaling, and find out if the specific "reflection" questions help me maintain a positive well-being or add to negative thinking because I didn't experience or accomplish all of the "reflection" elements.
positive psychology is essential in teaching. It promotes healthy mindset, self efficacy, self esteem; increases happiness, and decreases stress. Positive education creates creativity, happy and resilience students
Positive comment are a great way to encourage students to try things they are not comfortable with.
I enjoy learning about the different ways to use and apply PERMA. It is also helpful and refreshing to hear about the emphasis on prioritizing your well-being. As educators, I feel like that is often frowned upon or put on the back burner. I look forward to learning more about positive psychology.
Support to a less than confident learner and encourage success. Point out the strong points and how their past experiences can help in over coming a challenge or meet a goal.
This was a really cool that talked about the PERMA Model and how it can be benifical in the Education System. I really enjoyed learning about Strength Spotting and how it can boost someone's confidence.
