Dr. Martin Seligman, the father of positive psychology, describes that to understand students’ and teachers’ wellbeing, it’s like looking at the dashboard of a car. No single gauge tells you how well the car is running. It’s a combination of all of the gauges. The Learning Curve Planners are that dashboard, which provide an array of evidence based activities, which combine to generate positive emotions to build students’ and teachers’ wellbeing. The Planner activities focus on developing all elements of PERMAH. All supported by our online wellbeing program www.learningcurve.com.au

COMMUNICATION WITH OTHERS Wellbeing Reality: by making contact, looking for body language messages and being welcoming, you give yourself the best opportunity to make good impressions on others. 90% of communication is done through visual gestures, expressions and posture, while only 10% is through speaking, so look up from your phone to live.

Week:

» Weekly PERMAH focus

Everyone has mirror neurons, which copy the expressions and feelings of others. Use them to share happy and positive emotions with others.

» Mindfulness activities » Resilience Builders

Priorities / Due Dates / Gratitudes

Wellbeing Reality: through having a trusting and kind relationship with yourself, the positive emotions you will feel will increase your problem solving and critical and creative thinking abilities. Create a self-kind mantra every Sunday night to aspire to for the week, such as, I will challenge my best possible self by seeking help. This will promote positive self-talk to multiply your efforts. You are your most valuable asset. Another selfmotivating practice, is to leave yourself a positive self-affirming note every second night on a sticky note on the mirror.

Why should having sustainable cities and communities matter to me? Whilst cities and metropolitan areas are power-houses of economic growth they also account for most of the earth’s pollution and use of resources. What can I do as a student to promote sustainable cities and communities? Develop a vision for my own living situation – building, street, neighborhood, etc. to promote sustainable cities and communities.

You need clear written goals, immediate feedback on your efforts and a challenge which matches or slightly stretches your skills.

Flow enables you to learn and connect different ideas faster, increase your memory, multiply your creativity and extend your previous bests.

Wellbeing Reality: through mindfully and fully engaging with a challenge, which really stretches your abilities, you may experience a state called flow. Flow often causes you to lose your sense of time, be totally immersed in the challenge, feel that you are at your best and experience feelings of fulfillment. Elite performers in any field are usually in a state of flow. The powerful brain chemical, dopamine, is released into your bloodstream, enabling you to feel a natural high. For most people it is an enjoyable state to be in.

STUDENT WELLBEING JOURNALS To be truly student driven in developing their own wellbeing, students need to write down their thoughts about what they are feeling, thinking and experiencing for each of the evidence based activities in the Wellbeing Journals. As Einstein said, to understand it, they need to be able to explain it. Our journals provide students with the medium for doing this.

SPICES AND TANGS. Imagine you are eating your favourite spicy foods. What tangy tastes do you have, what aromas fill your nose, how do they feel chewing and swallowing them?

Use KINDNESS to explore BRIGHT AND LIGHT (page 115) – Being Happy – looking for at least two opportunities to lighten up, smile, laugh, have fun to experience positive emotions and feel-good brain chemicals.

HOW DID YOU FEEL THIS WEEK?

Further thought – why can helping others make you feel good?

GRATITUDES: What went well that you were grateful for?

OPTIMISM AND HOPE: What are you looking forward to doing and trying most this week to grow your wellbeing?

YEAR 9 Learning about how to tap into optimism, hope, determination, choice and resilience to grow their wellbeing.

DETERMINATION AND CHOICE:

What do you need to start or finish this week to move towards becoming who you want to become? Anyone to thank, say “sorry” to, or forgive? MONDAY

GROWTH MINDSET: Self-calming yourself by colouring in and practising deep breathing exercises. ACCOMPLISHMENT + OPTIMISM HOME BRAIN GROWTH

With a classmate discuss – When are times you have volunteered your time to help out and do kind things for others? What emotions did you experience before, during and afterwards?

Wellbeing Reality: by ensuring that you include repetition, more intelligent learning approaches and self-regulation to revise your learning every night, you will create patterns for your brain to grow. Turn off all distractions which use any of the 110 bits of data available when revising, have soft lighting, comfortable seating, a well ventilated room and water to sip on to assist your brain’s functioning. Your brain needs to see and think through things often to build strong and fast brain pathways.

GROWTH MINDSET: Being able to communicate in person clearly both orally and through body language.

WAIT TO ENJOY Wellbeing Reality: by working towards longer term goals through achieving a series of small and sometimes boring targets, you will feel a wonderful feeling of accomplishment. In the world of social media today, where many things are there to give you instant satisfaction, your wellbeing will benefit by you waiting to enjoy the end result, through following a process of completing steps. Deliberately practising making yourself “do boring” by using your strengths, you develop strong and lasting positive feelings about yourself.

With a classmate discuss – From Feelings and Emotions, choose three sets of three emotions, which rise in intensity from weak to strong. For example, calm, worried, frantic. Role play what body language you would show for each set of three.

Doing this is called savouring, which has great proven benefits for your state of wellbeing. To savour take photos, journal about your experiences, be in the present moment at events and enjoy planning upcoming things in your life, such as socialising and holidays. To feel fulfilled, continually search for, revisit and savour times you are grateful for.

With a classmate discuss – seeking help when you need it takes courage because you have to admit you aren’t coping. What are ten fears and concerns you think senior students could have to be afraid to seek help?

Wellbeing Reality: through making yourself clear to others using respectful, assertive and measured language, you will get your message across so that they understand. In your teenage risk taking environment, there will certainly be occasions when you don’t want to participate in an activity. To feel empowered to keep yourself and friends safe, say what you are concerned about, that you don’t want to participate and what you want to happen. There is nothing more pathetic than seeing someone not speak up or be too aggressive in their response.

21ST CENTURY SKILLS

It is important to develop good habits in your everyday living, in your learning and in your thinking. To be in a good place as a person and feel in control, it is important to have targets and dreams to aim for. The most important thing to remember is to be totally honest with the person you see in the mirror every morning. Get to know yourself and take care of yourself.

Social Networking

Go outside and lie on a towel or blanket looking at the sky for three minutes. Look for and describe the different pictures of things you can see in the clouds.

Wellbeing Bank: to add to my Relationships and Optimism through using social networking ethically and sensibly. Social networking is a wonderful medium of communication when not used excessively and balanced with face-to-face interactions with others. Unfortunately, this is often not the case with people of your age and the negative impacts on your physical and mental wellbeing can be quite serious. Well over 60% of young people are now reporting feeling unhappy and exhausted by being permanently switched on and are keen to connect with themselves, to watch their own thoughts coming and going, instead of everyone else’s. As mentioned earlier, the overuse of social media is spiraling out of control and responsible for widespread youth sleep deprivation through 24/7 connection; invisible and cowardly bullying; restricted personal and academic growth and obsession with a fear of missing out. Which of these affect you? There are both acceptable and unacceptable ways to use social networking. Describe what you believe both of these could include.

Regular exercise and leisure activities will enable you to experience feel good brain chemicals called endorphins and improve your fitness, flexibility and body tone. Spending time exercising with family and friends will enable you to enjoy uplifting spirals of positive emotions. It also increases your oxygen intake and endurance and reduces tension and anxiety which enhances your sleeping patterns.

A thinking trap which many students fall into, is that they get action mixed up with activity. Action is about focusing intently on achieving what you set out to do by putting in your best efforts to make it happen. Activity is about going through the motions, pretending you are trying and letting down the person you see in the mirror every morning.

THINK NOTHING Sit still and close your eyes and focus your mind on thinking about nothing for five minutes. As thoughts come, push them out of your mind to enjoy ‘nothingness’. This can be very difficult. With pratice, it is very worthwhile.

WAYS TO FEEL BETTER My Wellbeing Goal: to add to my Positive Engagement by having ways to feel better when I’m finding things hard. When you feel that you are finding things hard, it is important to have ways to help yourself feel better. There are four main ways you can do this. They are exercising actively, asking trusted adults for help, using self-talk and practising square breathing. Other ways include yoga and listening to music.

Describe the relationship you have with your teachers now. .......................................................................................... .......................................................................................... Teachers are at their best when your class are enthusiastic to be there by showing effort to learn and try new things with them.

ACTIONS

They also value when you see mistakes as learning opportunities and then ask questions to correct them; be thankful for their help. In class listen and think with your teachers to combine your strengths to get the most out of learning. This shows you have a love of learning.

POSITIVE ENGAGEMENT Wellbeing Bank: to build my Positive Engagement by practising to grow strong brain pathways. After every experience you have your brain rewires itself to create new or strengthen existing brain pathways. This is called neuroplasticity and continues throughout your life. In your brain there are millions of nerve cells called neurons, which process and send electrical messages from neuron to neuron around your body to create your every thought, word and action. Your brain loves looking for patterns and the more you do something, the faster the messages travel and the more automatic they become which is how you create your habits. Deliberately practising any activity and gradually increasing its level of difficulty, will create strong brain pathways in that area. Describe how you currently practise to build stronger brain pathways.

This will develop the resilience skills of regulating their emotions and flexible thinking.

The ever-present nature of electronic communication, means many students have fractured attention; they find it almost impossible to deeply engage themselves because they are always awaiting another message. Teaching them to focus on how to pay attention to what they are meant to pay attention to is a skill which will enable them to experience flow. The first step is for them to put their mobiles on flight mode for 4 periods of 30 minutes every day.

The Torch in the bottom left-hand corner represents ‘secular’ learning. The Open Book with Alpha-Omega symbolises ‘Spiritual’ learning. ‘Tenete Traditiones’, Parade’s motto, to hold on to and to build upon the traditions which have made Parade great.

Enhancing Your Understanding. Many school leaders and teachers know about and talk about resilience, wellbeing and Positive Education perspectives, but are uncertain how to implement what they know. Our workshops and seminars provide the “how” for them. The format is 80% “doing” and practising, and 20% enhancing participants understanding of the underpinning evidence based research. MICK WALSH Mick Walsh has been a leading and innovative Positive Education author, educator and speaker across Australasia and internationally for many years. As a highly experienced former college leader and an avid researcher of positive psychology, he created and authored the Learning Curve Positive Education and Wellbeing program, which is used in numerous schools across the globe. All of the strategies and activities in the program, are underpinned by evidence-based research.

CON MADDEN Having spent years in educational and leadership roles Con knows how schools function at an optimal level. As a school and wellbeing leader he has lead by example, in both articulating and implementing Positive Education Programs with outstanding success; setting a benchmark in supporting and building socialemotional resilience in students, teachers and parents.

ROB STOKOE Director of the Al-Futtaim Education Foundation having recently led Avondale Grammar School in Singapore following sixteen years as Director of JESS, Dubai. With 30 years leadership experience including Primary, Secondary and a 5 year spell with the University of Sunderland it’s fair to say that my career has been varied. I am passionate about great learning and see positive education as an essential ingredient for effective learning and future schools. I am still, listening, learning and sharing, continually hoping to stimulate debate and growth for the most valuable of professions.

JOHN WARD John has dedicated his career to educational leadership and innovative staff professional development and is a passionate leader for teacher and student wellbeing – believing that teacher wellbeing is the foundation for student wellbeing in our schools and training facilities. Currently, as a lecturer and tutor for aspiring studentteachers at Southern Cross University and over the previous 26 years as Deputy Principal then Principal across multiple metropolitan and regional schools in NSW, John has continued to promote evidence-based strategies and vital resources to reduce teacher stress and build resilience and engagement.

CHERYL WARD Cheryl is a dedicated creative and performing arts teacher with over 35 years experience in secondary metropolitan and regional schools. Facilitating the establishment of a school and vocational training centre in Haiti, to creating and leading teacher training and other school-based and community initiatives here in Australia and overseas, experience has proven again and again to Cheryl, the importance of practical, realistic, wellbeing training for teachers.

ROB HANLON Rob has worked in numerous educational settings over a varied and diverse career. As a leader of his school campus, the wellbeing of his students and staff has been the cornerstone of his leadership style. Embedding a culture of Positive Education as part of his strategy to create a learning community of support, care, compassion and accountability.
