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.
Comment on Verna Pitts's post: Absolutely!
Positive re-enforcement is so powerful!
I can use my Positive physiology training in class.
I have always tried to use positive feedback in my teaching methods and in my family.
Well being impacts students overall experience!
I like the idea of infusing this into online learning -- we think that just because students are not in front of us all the time, that they do not need the same sort of positive motivation.
I enjoyed learning the different ways to utilize PERMA.
It is important to keep a positive attitude at all times because students will put out that same energy into their work ethic and will benefit them to do better and be successful.
I have been studying and applying positive psychology in my classes for the past 10 years and I have seen the powerful impact
to focus, not only on a student's academic performance in my feedback or review, but also on demonstrations of kindness, leadership, mentoring that I may have witnessed in the classroom
I have learned about strength spotting in students and how to encourage the student's strengths, thank them for exhibiting those strengths, and encouraging them to apply those strengths!
