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.
I will utilize the PERMA assessment daily in my personal and professional especially when interacting with faculty, students, and colleagues.
I like the daily reflection exercise, this is something I am going to incorporate to my teaching. The students and myself will benefit from it. Every day I set the tone for class, I play positive music and setup the oil diffuser and my students really enjoy it. I now have more tools for a more positive teaching and learning experience after this course. I really enjoyed it!
The perma terms are great because they distill down the basics people often overlook in favor of what's cool. Engaging in thinking about thinking also helps because people become trapped in routines and often overlook self-reflection.
Positive psychological training is very important for teachers.
A Positive Attitude will trump a negative attitude.
Positive thoughts as well as energy will allow the student to be able to excel beyond their current self-limitations.
Positive psychology is a way to not only enhance your own well-being, but also help students and staff in your school.
The PERMA assessment helps the instructor encourage and support students by identifying strengths.
The PERMA self assessment piece of asking oneself the those 5 questions daily as a way of monitoring the sense of wellness was very meaningful to me.

Positive re-enforcement is so powerful!
I can use my Positive physiology training in class.
