Positive Education for Beginners
George Kokolas Express Publishing
Summary
Negative feelings and demotivation are a daily part of our classroom lives. Positive Education is not simply a bunch of theories asking people to "feel great against adversity" but a thoroughly scientific, long-implemented educational framework in which teachers and students can flourish and find encouragement when they feel stuck or demotivated. The speaker will provide "the why to use positive education, " demonstrate some PοsiEd activities, and try to communicate that Positive Education is something caught and not taught!
