Overview
About the course
Resilience was once perceived as a rare and special character trait of heroes. We now understand that it’s a form of ‘ordinary magic’ that can be learned and taught. Optimism and hope can also be learned – they are pathways to wellbeing. As relevant within the classroom as it is throughout everyday life, this course is designed to make a powerful impact by cultivating the skills and strengths underpinning resilience and wellbeing.
Grounded in the science of positive psychology, Teaching Hope and Optimism focuses on key practices and interventions that allow us to build the brain’s circuitry for optimism and help us cope with everyday adversity, as well as life’s hardships and trauma. It draws on a wealth of research and evidence-based techniques to equip you with the skills to build hope and optimism and boost wellbeing in yourself, your students and others, and offers a wealth of helpful information to teachers who are devising wellbeing curricula in line with the new NCCA Wellbeing Guidelines for Junior Cycle students.
