Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
It's amazing how far a positive comment can go. This module reminded me we don't know what our students are going through outside of class, and our positive influence can change their entire outlook for the better.
Positive Psychology is a valuable resource for everyday life and especially effective in teaching. The principle of gaining by giving is simple to embrace, and actively looking for chances to spread positivity is rewarding in its own right.
Positivity is a personal and a group process.I have enjoyed some of the quotes in this program
I love when I see the students challenge themselves and complete their goals and get the grades they desire. They demonstrate grit, persistence and hard work.
Comment on Carsten Henningsen's post: By focusing on positive strengths not weakness our grit and determination can help us accomplish our goals.
Positive Psychology is a great tool for daily living and is most helpful when teaching. To gain by giving is an easy principal to adopt and intentionally seeking opportunities to share positivity with others is fulfilling in itself.
It is important to stay focused on positivity while accomplishing the goals of your course.
Comment on Cozetta Hossain Carter's post: I agree that in general people want to feel they belong or are connected to a group. Celebrating each others accomplishments is a positive interation amongst peers.
Understanding how grit and flow really come into play was something that I had not given as much thought to so it was good to learn that.
From this module, I particularly appreciate gaining an understanding of the benefits of students being aware of the purposes of their own learning path, and how crucial it is for them to have both self-oriented and transcendent goals.
I agree to cultivared in the students positive emotions, engagenment, realtiooships, meaning and acomplishment.
Feelings go a long way and affect in class/out class behaviors and can be fed off each other.
The PERMA module was fun to learn. I enjoyed how to build goals and cultivate how to continue honing those goals.
The importance of reflection was really impactful for me. I do a lot of reflection-based assessments in my classes with students but I rarely take the time, myself, to reflect in a meaningful way. I know adding more reflection time will help me be a better educator.
I'm going to keep focused on my goals and the relations to achieve these goals while taking note of what I have accomplished. Yet while these are goals set for the upcoming, I still need to figure out how to do deal will the present bad news or existing problems. How you you deal with present suffering or problems?
A person's emotional status is very important to maintain academic and emotional wellbeing.
