First I would like to extend a warm welcome to all our visitors,
including our friends from Blue Ribbon Schools of Excellence. We are happy
you’re here!
Our latest regular blog post on Edutopia is “Unleashing the
Power of Positivity in Your School.” As we explain in the post, a positive
community of educators within a school has a powerful effect on the students
who actively learn there. Teachers help create a positive environment by exhibiting and
modeling an optimistic outlook and can-do attitude.
The post builds on a previous
post that we wrote, which outlines the benefits of practical optimism as a
strategy for achieving one’s goals through commitment, execution and
maintaining a positive outlook that success is possible. In this latest post,
we outline a variety of strategies that may be useful in enhancing practical
optimism, such as staying focused on the “upside,” expressing gratitude, and
regularly committing small acts of kindness. Other strategies include being
mindful of your emotional state, giving your brain and body a positive workout,
and infusing positive feelings into your surroundings.
We invite you to read our recent full blog post at this
link. Our hope is that you will enjoy incorporating these strategies into
your routine, and then note the changes in the emotional climate in your classroom
and school!
