Empower school staff

Positive Educators is for leaders and wellbeing leads within schools that have an interest in promoting wellbeing and resilience.

Our groups are never more than 20 people. This ensures that all participants can play an active role, and that our facilitators can give everyone the focused attention they need.

The programme includes four skillsets: Awareness, Focus, Mindset and Connection.

Each skillset includes 3 components: introductory pre-work (15 minutes), a live session (two 90-minute sessions over a half-day), and post-session practice (timebound challenges implemented on the job).

You can complete the programme at a pace that works best for your staff. We recommend one skillset per month, or spacing the four skillsets over a one to two term period.

Positive NOW is Positive's online learning platform. It’s integral to the Positive Educators programme, housing all educational content, Positive tools and challenges. It’s designed to help participants prepare for the live sessions and build their skills once they’re finished. Positive NOW also enables participants to dig deeper into the topics that interest them most, with compelling videos and questionnaires amongst many features on offer.

90% of leadership interventions have no enduring impact (Beer, 2016). Among other reasons, this is because they’re not aligned to organisational priorities nor do they harness the power of social learning. At Positive, our psychologists have designed our Educators programme with all these conditions in mind. We teach in small groups, encouraging educators to work and support each other. Our proven tools and challenges enable educators to build their skills over the long-term, and maximise the chance of long term success.

Our programme helps school staff first and foremost. Once staff have developed their own set of core skills, we encourage them to pass the same science and tools onto their students. We're hoping to develop a programme that directly supports students in the near future.
