About this course

What keeps a teacher going through a hard year? This week uses positive psychology to look at that question through everyday classroom skills. Martin Seligman’s PERMA model breaks wellbeing into five components: Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning and Accomplishment. PERMA is a theory of wellbeing, not a list of skills, so this week uses it…

Methodology

Interactive, Not Lecture-Based

Each topic (communication, leadership, student support) is explored through interactive exercises, role-plays and group discussion — short theoretical framing only.

Trainer-Prepared Scenarios

Role-plays use scenarios prepared from common classroom situations; nobody is asked to replay an incident from their own school.

Personal Action Plan

The course ends with a personal plan built on the five PERMA components, shared with colleagues in small groups.

What you'll take home

Communicate more effectively with students — active listening, constructive feedback, and confident verbal and non-verbal communication.

Motivate your classroom and set small goals with students, matching your feedback to different student profiles.

Handle challenging classroom situations with confidence, using practical de-escalation steps you have rehearsed in role-play.

Reflect on your own reactions and on why you teach, using the five PERMA components as a lens.

Leave with a personal plan for continued professional development, with one small action for each component.
