For Teachers: New Strategies For A Positive And Happy School

Score your own school against UNESCO's twelve Happy Schools criteria, using this course's simple scoring method, and say, with evidence, which of the four pillars is weakest.

Build a code of conduct with a class rather than for one, and run the trust-building work that makes it hold past the first week.

Choose pedagogies and assessment routines that fit the Process criteria — balanced workload, active learning, flexible ways of showing what has been learned.

Name what your school’s physical and digital spaces are doing to the people in them, and identify the changes that cost nothing.

Separate what you can change alone from what needs agreement, and make the case for one thing in the third column to the person who can actually grant it.
