This course is aimed at teachers and head teachers who wish to develop themselves, their teaching practice and their students from a strength-based perspective. Working with strengths is an approach that has grown from positive psychology, which is the field that studies human well-being, growth and development.
During the first part of the course you will get a chance to discover your own strengths when it comes to teaching and relationship building with students, and how these strengths are linked to certain challenges. You will be working on setting goals for your future teaching practice by looking at how your signature strengths can be used to create better results, more motivation and satisfaction in the daily work, and finally how the strengths can be used to compensate for your challenges. During the second part of the course we will look at how this approach can be applied to the students; how to discover and inquire into the strengths of each student, seeing how their strengths and challenges are linked, and developing ideas of how to get these strengths into play in the classroom fostering feelings of motivation, self-efficiency and self-confidence among students. Finally, we will look at how to cultivate certain strengths proven to be useful in school performance.
The course fee for this five day course is 775 Euro, which can be almost fully covered by an Erasmus+ grant (plus travel and stay). Of course, our courses are open to anyone, also without Erasmus+ grants!
